Art3f, the international contemporary art fair, returns to Monaco’s Chapiteau de Fontvieille, located at 5 Avenue des Ligures, from Friday, September 11, to Sunday, September 13, 2026, marking the event’s seventh edition in the Principality with three days dedicated to accessible, affordable contemporary art.Since its inception, art3f has built its identity around breaking down the traditional codes of contemporary art fairs, aiming to make art approachable for everyone rather than intimidating or exclusive. Every piece on display is available for purchase, a deliberate choice designed to make contemporary art more accessible than ever, welcoming casual visitors, curious newcomers, specialists and seasoned collectors alike into the same space.This year’s edition promises a record number of exhibitors, with more than 200 artists and galleries from across France and internationally taking part, showcasing over 3,500 works spanning painting, sculpture and photography. The artistic programme reflects an unusually broad sweep of contemporary movements, ranging from expressionism, art brut and abstraction to graffiti and post-graffiti, kinetic art, minimalism, naive art, pop art, new realism and various forms of free artistic expression. Beyond simply viewing the work, the fair is designed to give visitors the chance to meet artists and gallerists directly, offering an informal, relaxed setting for conversation and discovery.The event’s festive atmosphere extends beyond the artwork itself, with an on-site restaurant and outdoor terrace offering food and refreshments at any hour throughout the fair. The official opening night takes place on Friday, September 11, from 6pm, with participating artists hosting their own individual vernissage at their stands, encouraging early conversation and connection between artists and visitors.The fair opens on Friday from 4pm to 10pm, Saturday from 11am to 8pm, and Sunday from 11am to 7pm, with ticket sales closing 30 minutes before the fair does each day. Admission costs €10, with free entry for accompanied minors.
