"Despite
all the complications and difficulties, the country is going through,
Lebanon remains a creative hotspot in the Middle East, in terms of both
art and collectible design. We should mention here the participation of
eight of them" declares Joanna Chevalier, Artistic Director.
|
| "We
have also noticed that a good number of French and European galleries
have recently added artists from the Middle East to their stables.
Through Menart Fair, the public and art professionals will be able to
discover new talent and observe the evolution of those they already
know. A new market in Europe is taking shape" adds Laure d'Hauteville, founder and director.

In line with its DNA, Menart Fair, a young, dynamic and generous fair, will be hosting a number of events, installations, monumental sculptures, performances and conferences,
as well as lunch and dinner meetings with institutions and collectors.
Beyond its "boutique-art-fair" dimension, Menart Fair cultivates its didactic ambition
by multiplying its mediators, creating multisensory opportunities and
experiences that allow visitors to perceive its difference.
|
Last but not least, this year's edition will feature a major first: the MENA Art + Design Fair will be hosted by the Palais d'Iéna, during the European Heritage Days.
Home to the Economic, Social and Environmental Council (ESEC), the Palais d'Iéna is a 20th-century historical monument designed by architect Auguste Perret, located at the heart of "La Colline des Arts
". Eleven leading artistic and cultural institutions*, located on this
hill, form the immediate environment of this national landmark.
