A special program is planned for this 2025 edition, details of which can be found on the fair website. Among the highlights are prepared exhibitions, artistic performances, conferences and a space dedicated to video. A new area will also be showcased at the fair: a "no-profit" zone where you can admire works never before shown in France, curated by the fair's partner museums.

Menart Fair takes place this year in October, joining the festivities of Art Week in Paris. During these autumn days, art lovers can take advantage of the major contemporary art event Art Basel, as well as a number of other fairs and shows featuring contemporary creations.

By the way, where does the name of this fair come from? "MENA" represents the participating countries (Middle East / North Africa). We mixed this acronym with the word art, which is at the heart of everything we do. The aim of the event is to showcase the artistic wealth of these countries, which are often forgotten by the Western art world.

Come and discover these exceptionally talented artists at this one-of-a-kind fair!
