Happy Holidays and Welcome 2026!
10 Years of Art, Community, and International Vision.
Dear artists, readers, collectors, and art lovers,
As we reach the end of the year, we would like to pause for a moment to look back with gratitude and look ahead with excitement. 2025 has been a year of consolidation, growth, and reflection, and 2026 will mark a historic milestone for us: 10 years of The Guide Artists.
2025: A Year of Consolidation and Artistic Depth
Throughout 2025, our blog and overall activity have continued to reaffirm our mission: to give a voice to contemporary figurative art and to the artists who shape it every day.
Over the course of the year, we have shared:
In-depth interviews and profiles of international artists, exploring their creative processes, artistic visions, and personal journeys.
Articles that connect the present with the past, revisiting key content through sections such as Every Issue Reborn, where we rediscover interviews and texts that have defined our history.
An ongoing dialogue between tradition and contemporaneity, highlighting figurative art as a living and constantly evolving language.
2025 was also a year of tangible projects, public engagement, and institutional collaborations:
The continued development of our international awards and open calls, offering artists real visibility, professional publications, and exhibition opportunities.
Collaborations with leading cultural institutions, reinforcing our commitment to rigor, quality, and artistic excellence.
The expansion of The Guide Artists beyond the digital space, through physical venues and experiences designed to bring together art, books, and people.
Exhibitions and public presentations, where artists, readers, and collectors connected directly with the works and ideas shaping contemporary figurative art.
Book launches and signing events, creating moments of closeness between artists, authors, and our community, and reinforcing the physical and human dimension of our work.
None of this would have been possible without the trust and support of everyone who reads, participates, creates, and believes in this project.
Book Signing with Carlo Alberto Palumbo
On September 4, 2025, The Guide Artists kicked off its book signing season at the Cádiz store with the presence of renowned artist Carlo Alberto Palumbo. The event offered readers, collectors, and admirers of figurative art a unique opportunity to meet the artist in person, receive a signed copy of his book, and share an intimate cultural experience in an artistic environment, celebrating creativity and direct dialogue between the artist and the public
We also welcomed Santi Pina and Haniel Fonseca, who held their own book signings in different months, offering our community unique moments of connection, conversation, and celebration of art.
The Meaning Behind Our Work
Beyond articles, awards, or publications, 2025 reaffirmed something essential: The Guide Artists is a community. A meeting point where art is not consumed quickly, but rather read, reflected upon, and shared.
Every comment, every message, and every artist who places their trust in us reminds us why we began.
2026: 10 Years of The Guide Artists
Next year will not be just another year.
2026 celebrates a decade since the birth of The Guide Artists—ten years of continuous evolution as an international art advertising and communication brand.
Over these ten years, The Guide Artists has established itself as a creative platform that connects artists, galleries, art material brands, and audiences, encompassing books, magazines, exhibitions, events, and international art promotion projects.
10th Anniversary Special Event
In 2026, we will celebrate our 10th Anniversary with a special international event, conceived as a meeting point where we will celebrate:
The international expansion of our brand and its growth over the past decade.
The work of the artists, galleries, and art brands that have been part of this journey.
Our role as a platform for art advertising, visibility, and promotion, supporting contemporary art in all its forms.
This event will bring together exhibitions, special presentations, launches, and professional gatherings, reinforcing our commitment to creating real-world experiences that connect art with people.
To commemorate this special anniversary, 2026 will also bring:
Revisits and tributes to key historical interviews and projects that have shaped our identity and growth.
Special projects, exhibitions, and public events, including book launches and signing sessions that highlight both our history and our future direction.
Major international awards and open calls, marking a new chapter in our trajectory.
It will be a year to look back with pride, but above all to move forward with the same vision, ambition, and commitment that have guided us from the very beginning.
Thank You for Being Part of the Journey
We would like to sincerely thank every artist, reader, collaborator, and friend who has been part of these 10 years and especially of this 2025.
We wish you a holiday season filled with calm, inspiration, and beauty, and a 2026 full of creativity, meaningful projects, and art.
We will continue to be here telling stories, supporting creative journeys, and celebrating art in all its forms.
Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year! Thank you for these 10 years!
