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.

In October 2025, Menart Fair took place at the heart of Paris Art Week, a key moment in the international art calendar where collectors, institutions, and art professionals from around the world converge. Under the theme an “Ode to Gentleness,” the edition explored the subtle dialogue between vulnerability, sensitivity, and quiet strength.

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.

The 7th edition of Menart Fair will take place from October 23 to 25, 2026, offering a demanding, sensitive, and inspiring artistic experience.
