The success of the first edition of MENART FAIR overall exceeded the expectations of its organizers: the overwhelming majority of exhibitors expressed their enthusiasm for their participation in the fair and wish to participate in the next edition. The 2,532 registered visitors (95% were Parisians) unanimously appreciated the diversity and richness of the works exhibited.
Sunday, May 30, in the afternoon, more than 300 people returned to visit the fair.
The long-awaited deconfinement, the beauty of the place, the wind of freedom and the sun are not the only causes of this success.
Visitors were unanimously pleasantly surprised by the quality of the exhibitors and the works on display, as well as the scenography of the space.
This plebiscite honors the organizer, but the resulting feeling of accomplished mission is due above all to the feedback from the participants, these 22 exhibitors who placed their trust to this fair promise in a complicated context.
