Arte por Excel… 27-08-2025

Menart Fair, which in just five years has established itself as one of the key events in the Paris art calendar, will hold its sixth edition from October 25 to 27, 2025, with a VIP preview on October 24. This year, the fair becomes part of the Art Basel Paris satellite fairs, responding to the growing demand from international collectors.

The event takes place during Paris’s “art week,” a pivotal moment when thousands of visitors and collectors from around the world gather to discover the latest trends in modern art, contemporary art, and design.

Global interest in art from the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa) is stronger than ever. Cultural institutions worldwide now dedicate a significant place to it, highlighting the richness and diversity of its creators, while underlining the commitment of MENA countries to bring their artistic heritage to an international stage.

In 2025, Menart Fair will present an unprecedented selection of modern and contemporary works, gathering around thirty galleries from more than ten countries. The fair stands as a crossroads where tradition and innovation meet. In parallel, exclusive exhibitions by MENA museums and institutions will showcase works from their collections never before seen in Paris, offering a unique opportunity for discovery.

The program will also include talks, artistic performances, a dedicated video section, and installations, creating an immersive experience of exchange, inspiration, and reflection.

Menart Fair 2025 emphasizes its commitment to gender parity, with 50% women artists and 50% men artists, providing a balanced and inclusive platform for diverse creative voices.

The venue will be the Galerie Joseph-Turenne, located at 116 rue de Turenne, in the heart of the Marais district. This former early 20th-century industrial workshop, once home to Mac-Ty, France’s first tie manufacturer, was renovated in 2016 by Michael Timsit. Today, it combines modernity and classicism, preserving its original character with exposed stone walls and period woodwork. The gallery offers two levels: one with a spectacular 12-meter-high glass roof and another more intimate space with 5-meter ceilings, both filled with exceptional natural light.
