Sergio Sancho (Madrid, 1978) left the world of advertising to devote himself to his passion for art, specifically New Contemporary Art which did not have a platform in Spain. Sancho launched the UVNT Art Fair in Madrid in 2017 as a response to this lack of representation. After eight editions held annually in March, the fair has established itself as an important meeting point for artistic proposals in the field. In 2022 he launched a second art fair: Contemporary Art Now (CAN Ibiza) in the Mediterranean island. 

In parallel, Sancho has worked as a cultural agitator with artistic projects for brands such as Caleido, Las Rozas Village, Iberia, Swatch, Mahou, NYX Hotels, or Lexus, bringing art closer to the business world and the general public. 

About this last edition of CAN Art Ibiza, Sergio declared “We aim to showcase the very best of the avant-garde visual arts scene - that's why our name is ‘Contemporary Art Now’. The island is an inexhaustible source of artistic inspiration and our idea is to mix culture, business, and enjoyment. What differentiates CAN Ibiza is the work of our guest curator who identifies and invites a selection of the galleries due to their position at the forefront of the emerging international art scene. A lot of people in the art world seem to have some kind of connection to the island. In Ibiza, we have had the support of local administrations, but also of the local cultural fabric and our goal is to strengthen these relationships.
