Who we are

Founded in 2021 by Laure d’Hauteville, Menart Fair is a unique art fair in Europe fully dedicated to modern & contemporary art from the MENA region (Middle East & North Africa). Each year, it brings together a carefully curated selection of around forty galleries, showcasing the richness, diversity, and creative vitality of artists from the region and their diasporas.

From October 23 to 25, 2026, Menart Fair celebrates its 7th edition in the heart of Paris, during “Paris Art Week”, centered around an essential question: WHERE IS HOME?

Is “Home” merely a place? Is the simple image of a house or a territory enough to exhaust its meaning?  The galleries representing artists from the Middle East, North Africa, and their diasporas will open this sensitive and vertiginous reflection… inviting each of us to redefine our own center of gravity.

Deeply committed to parity, intercultural dialogue, and the circulation of ideas, Menart Fair has established itself as a must-attend event on the international art scene, a platform for encounters, discovery, and reflection on the future of art.
