Fully-equipped flat rentals for short stays in the heart of Madrid.

The 10th edition of the Festival Escena Contemporánea that will take place between 19th January and 15th February 2010 in Madrid will have more than 80 shows by 23 experimental theatre, street theatre, dance, performance and sound art companies from all over the world.

This festival is arranged by the Asociación Cultural Escena Contemporánea formed by Teatro Pradillo, Sala Cuarta Pared, ARTEMAD and the Coordinadora Madrileña de Salas, and it is promoted by the Consejería de Cultura y Deporte y Portavocía del Gobierno and the subvention of the Ministerio de Cultura through INAEM.

Galleries, collectors and other contemporary art players will be travelling from all over the world to Madrid, the capital of Spain, for ARCOmadrid_ 2010, the International Contemporary Art Fair, from February 17th through 21st. Given its growing influence, this annual fair is one of the world's major art market events and turns Madrid into an exciting world capital for contemporary art.

The most noteworthy new introduction at the upcoming edition of the art fair is the focus on Los Angeles, one of the world's epicentres for art right now, as the fair's special invited guest. In its PANORAMA program ARCOmadrid_ 2010 is inviting a city, instead of a country as was the case before, and L.A. was chosen for the dynamic creative diversity that has earned it a place at the top of the art market ranking. This is the beginning of a number of editions of the fair that will bring to Madrid the very best of what's happening in contemporary art worldwide, focusing not only on countries as it has done up until now, but also on major regions or urban centres in a globalised world that is increasingly more diverse and plural, overstepping national boundaries.
