Who we are

Menart Fair, an international modern and contemporary art exhibition, founded in 2021 by Laure d’Hauteville, is dedicated to showcasing artists from the Levant, the Arabian Gulf, and North Africa through a carefully curated selection of leading galleries.

In just five years, Menart Fair has become one of the must-attend events on the Parisian art calendar and will join the satellite fairs of Art Basel Paris for its 6th edition in 2025, responding to the rising interest from global art collectors and enthusiasts.

From October 25 to 27, 2025 (VIP preview on October 24), the fair will capitalize on the excitement of Paris Art Week, a key moment when thousands of visitors, collectors, and art lovers from around the world converge to explore the latest trends in modern, contemporary, and design art.

Interest in art from the MENA region is stronger than ever: museums, galleries, and institutions worldwide are now dedicating significant space to it, highlighting the richness and diversity of Middle Eastern and North African creators.

This growing momentum reflects the dedication of MENA cultural centers to promoting their artistic heritage on a global stage.

Menart Fair 2025 stands out with its commitment to gender parity, featuring 50% male and 50% female artists, offering a balanced and inclusive platform for diverse creative voices across the contemporary art scene.

This year’s theme explores the strength found in softness and its mysterious power. Is softness vulnerability, or is it a hidden force? This quiet strength is a subtle invitation to those who listen closely.

Menart Fair is a premier art event in Paris, where cultures and ideas meet to shape the future of art, celebrating the vibrant creativity of the MENA art community and beyond.
