The show takes place in temporary pavilions, allowing you to immerse yourself in this small artistic world.

Thus, the participating galleries will showcase a curated selection of artists and works to discover, whether they are established talents or promising emerging creators. For this sixth edition, nearly 60 art galleries are gathered in the heart of Paris.

Each edition, Moderne Art Fair shines a spotlight on committed institutions and a diverse slate of artists, carefully curated by a panel of art-world professionals. Visitors can view a range of installations, paintings, sculptures and other works along a route that invites them to immerse themselves in this artistic realm. In 2026, the Arab World Institute takes the role of guest of honor.

This contemporary art exhibition shines a light on a variety of styles and media. The visit path is divided into three sections: modern art, contemporary art, and design. Visitors thus enjoy a broad panorama of creators and can discover both rising talents and renowned artists.
