Monaco’s contemporary art fair, art3f, will return from 19th to 21st September, bringing together more than 200 artists and 3,500 works under the big top at Fontvieille.

Usually held at the end of August, this year’s edition of art3f will open slightly later in September, transforming the Chapiteau de Fontvieille into a vibrant hub of creativity. The international fair draws several thousand visitors each year and has earned a reputation as one of the Riviera’s most dynamic cultural events.

Organisers promise an artistic line-up “rich and representative of the major currents shaping contemporary expression”. Visitors will be invited on a journey through expressionism, abstract art, kinetic art, graffiti and post-graffiti, pop art, minimalism, naïve art, art brut, new realism and many more audacious forms of expression.

Meeting artists and gallerists

One of the fair’s great attractions is its accessibility. “It is a unique opportunity to meet artists and gallerists directly, to exchange with them and to step into their creative worlds,” say the organisers. With works available for purchase, art3f offers both seasoned collectors and newcomers the chance to discover and acquire pieces that reflect the diversity of today’s art scene.
