Photo Fairs

Celebrating the foremost contributors to design and visual arts, the fair brings together renowned international art galleries, leading 20th-century and contemporary design dealers, and a vibrant weekend of engaging programming.

FOG has established itself as a cornerstone of the design and arts communities on the West Coast and beyond. Renowned for its innovative hybrid approach, the fair offers an intimate yet bold presentation of art and design, complemented by dynamic on-site programming. Set against the historic backdrop of Fort Mason, FOG’s community-driven mission continues to champion art and design.

A highlight of the fair, the Preview Gala proudly supports SFMOMA’s exhibitions and education initiatives, reinforcing FOG’s enduring commitment to cultural institutions. This annual event serves as a vital meeting point for the local and international community to connect, engage in meaningful dialogue, and share their passion for creativity and artistic exploration.

Miami Modern + Contemporary will make its debut in January 2026, marking a significant new chapter in the city’s cultural calendar. Presented by the Art Miami Show Group, this inaugural fair reinforces Miami’s standing as a vibrant, year-round destination for collectors and enthusiasts who seek exceptional works of art and the energy of a thriving luxury market. Scheduled for January 21–25, 2026, the fair will take place at Herald Plaza on Biscayne Bay, within the expansive CONTEXT Art Miami Pavilion, offering visitors a refined and spacious setting overlooking the water.

Co-directed by Nick Korniloff and Julian Navarro, Miami Modern + Contemporary brings together more than seventy international galleries, each selected for the quality and relevance of the artists they represent. The fair will feature an expertly curated range of blue-chip contemporary works, significant pieces from the post-war and modern eras, and new creations by emerging and mid-career artists whose voices continue to shape the evolving landscape of global contemporary art. This broad yet focused presentation ensures that both seasoned collectors and newcomers will find works that speak to their interests and aspirations.

While this edition marks its debut, the fair builds on the legacy and expertise of the Art Miami Show Group, whose long-standing commitment to artistic excellence has helped make Miami one of the world’s most dynamic art capitals. Miami Modern + Contemporary arrives at a moment when the region continues to attract high-net-worth individuals, international buyers, and cultural institutions looking to engage with meaningful, high-quality art throughout the year.

More than an exhibition, the fair represents an invitation to experience Miami’s creative spirit at the start of the new year—an opportunity to explore significant artworks, connect with leading galleries, and celebrate the ongoing growth of the city’s artistic community.

In 2026, Art Genève presented a new and generous edition, bringing together 80 galleries specializing in modern and contemporary art. The quality of the selected participants offers a diverse experience, showcasing unique approaches and a range of mediums, from painting to video art. While the fair has secured its place on the international calendar, it retains an intimate atmosphere and preserves its unifying spirit. Building bridges. Cultivating authenticity and vibrancy. Stimulating and nurturing relationships on both national and international levels.

To strengthen Art Genève’s national ties, the Mobilière Prize awarded the young Swiss talent, Alfatih, while the Solo-F.P. Journe Prize was awarded to Richard Saltoun Gallery from among the 26 stands in the Solo section, celebrating artist BAYA’s creativity. Swiss institutions, art centers, foundations, and museums completed the panorama, enriching the exhibition circuit with projects specially designed for Art Genève.

Introduced for the first time in 2024, the Sur-Mesure section continued to explore unusual formats, exhibiting monumental pieces, while the Music section’s installations and performances immersed the public in sound works that extended even beyond the walls of the exhibition. Visitors could enjoy the fair further by browsing beautiful books in the art publishers’ section or by attending conferences that shed light on selected current topics in the contemporary art world.

Art Basel Qatar will debut in Doha from February 5 to 7, 2026, marking a significant milestone as the fifth global edition of the prestigious fair. Organized in partnership with Qatar Sports Investments and QC+, this inaugural event will bring together 87 galleries from 31 countries, presenting 84 artist showcases. Sixteen of these galleries will participate for the first time, reflecting the fair’s mission to amplify diverse artistic voices and global perspectives.

Curated by Egyptian-born artist Wael Shawky, Art Basel Qatar departs from traditional booth formats to embrace an open exhibition model centered around the theme of “Becoming.” This concept explores the ongoing transformation of humanity and the cultural systems that define identity and creativity. The exhibition will unfold across M7, the Doha Design District, and key public spaces in Msheireb Downtown Doha, inviting visitors into a dialogue between art, storytelling, and collective experience.

More than half of the artists represented in this first edition originate from the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia, affirming Doha’s growing role as a crossroads for cultural exchange. Notable names include Etel Adnan, Ali Banisadr, Simone Fattal, Ali Cherri, Meriem Bennani, and Iman Issa. Regional galleries such as Hafez Gallery from Saudi Arabia, Gallery Misr from Cairo, and Le Violon Bleu from Tunis will participate alongside major international players like Hauser & Wirth, Gagosian, Pace Gallery, White Cube, and David Zwirner.

Art Basel Qatar aims to strengthen the region’s artistic landscape while maintaining its global reach. With the support of Visit Qatar as the fair’s lead partner, the event underscores the country’s commitment to the arts as both cultural heritage and catalyst for future exchange. Shawky’s vision ensures that this first edition will not only present art but embody a living conversation about what it means to become, to evolve, and to create meaning in a rapidly changing world.

After a successful 2025 edition, with the partecipation of most prestigious Italian galleries and the most important collectors brought to Bologna, Arte Fiera will return from February 6th 2026 (preview on 5 February), launching its next cycle with its new Artistic Director Davide Ferri (previously curator of five editions of Pittura XXI, the section devoted entirely to painting) in synergy with Enea Righi, who will be Managing Director for the fourth year.

Arte Fiera, the longest-running Italian art fair, is the confirmed reference point for the Italian art system, a role it has played since its first edition in 1974. Despite a few transformations (a renewed team of curators, a new project for the “modern” hall, and a different structure for the curated sections), Arte Fiera 49’s appearance will reaffirm and enhance this identity, celebrating Italian art in all of its many and multifaceted forms and aspects: a polycentric, polyphonic, heterogeneous system that grows with the same intensity in both large and small cities and at different latitudes. In this sense, Bologna – and Arte Fiera – have always formed a historical link between the North and South of our country.

This edition’s title, Cosa sarà (What it will be), implies energy projected toward the future; a degree of unexpectedness and intention to renew the “fair format,” a reference to the enigmatic aspect that keeps collectors and art lovers so intensely bound to contemporary art.

The public’s loyalty to Arte Fiera also derives from its familiarity with the fair’s spaces: the two halls in which it is traditionally held, lit entirely by daylight, create an environment in which post-war art (Hall 26) dialogs with contemporary art and latest-generation research (Hall 25).

The Fair’s new visual identity, conceived by Al mare. Studio, clearly expresses the title: vaguely pop, and simultaneously minimalist and elegant, it transforms the red circle that has always identified Arte Fiera into a moving sign that ascends from a hypothetical horizon and becomes a sunrise.

Intersect Palm Springs Art + Design returns in 2026 with an expanded vision that brings together creativity, innovation, and the enduring spirit of the Coachella Valley. Held once again at the Palm Springs Convention Center from February 12–16, the fair aligns with the celebrated energy of Modernism Week, offering visitors a rich encounter with contemporary art and design. This fourth edition marks a new chapter, welcoming a broader range of galleries from across the globe and presenting an elevated program shaped to spark curiosity and thoughtful engagement.

Guests will encounter a series of curated exhibitions and conversations exploring how technology, light, and artistic practice continue to shape one another. Installations and panel discussions invite reflection on how creators respond to a fast-evolving world, blending traditional craft with emerging digital tools. A special exhibition curated by Sharissa Iqbal highlights works that merge sensory experience with technological exploration, offering a vivid look at the possibilities unfolding at the intersection of these disciplines.

Educational exchange also plays a key role, illustrated by collaborations such as East × West, which unites students and faculty from the Pratt Institute and California College of the Arts. Alongside this, a presentation devoted to the next wave of California galleries underscores the region’s steady influence on contemporary culture. Another highlight, Art as a Catalyst, gathers works by Paula Crown that reflect on the potential of art to address social and environmental concerns.

Visitors will also find tributes to influential figures, including a presentation of Lawrence Schiller’s photographs of Marilyn Monroe on the centenary of her birth. Throughout the fair, programs centered on architecture and design honor the legacy that continues to define the Coachella Valley’s aesthetic identity.

The 2026 edition will once again recognize contributions to the regional art community through its annual awards. As Palm Springs strengthens its position as a cultural destination, the fair continues to offer a gathering place for those drawn to the enduring dialogue between art, design, and place.

MIA Photo Fair BNP Paribas, Italy’s premier contemporary photography fair, traces its origins to 2011 when Fabio Castelli launched it as MIA – Milan Image Art Fair. Since then, it has grown into a vital platform for photography, exploring the medium not merely as a captured moment, but as a rich, multifaceted creative process shaped by research, experimentation, and the blending of visual languages, including innovative tools like artificial intelligence.

The fair functions as a dynamic cultural hub, uniting collecting, artistic experimentation, and research through a diverse program of solo and group exhibitions, curatorial projects, and thematic sections. Its mission is to promote photography as a contemporary artistic language in dialogue with all visual arts, creating spaces for galleries, artists, curators, and collectors to engage and connect.

Visitors to MIA Photo Fair BNP Paribas embark on a comprehensive journey through fine art photography, guided by curated sections, awards, and an active cultural program of talks and events. These initiatives encourage informed collecting and thoughtful engagement with the medium, drawing both Italian and international audiences. The fair’s Main Section has explored themes such as Dialogues, fostering exchanges between artists, audiences, and diverse photographic traditions, as well as the intersections of photography with other art forms and emerging technologies.

Since partnering with Fiere di Parma in 2022 and gaining BNL BNP Paribas as title sponsor, MIA has strengthened its global outlook and commitment to supporting contemporary visual culture. In its 14th edition (March 20–23, 2025), held at Superstudio Più in Milan, the fair welcomed 13,000 visitors, 114 exhibitors, and 77 galleries, reinforcing its status as Italy’s foremost platform for contemporary photography.

Looking ahead to its 15th edition, under the direction of Francesca Malgara, MIA Photo Fair BNP Paribas embraces the theme of Metamorphosis—highlighting transformation in photographic language, artistic practice, and the evolving identity of the fair itself, offering audiences an immersive encounter with photography’s ongoing evolution and creative possibilities.

Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary returns in 2026 for its ninth edition, bringing together an exceptional selection of international galleries for one of South Florida’s most anticipated cultural events of the winter season. Presented by Art Miami, the fair opens with an invitation-only VIP Preview on Thursday, March 19, and continues through Sunday, March 22, at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. Each year, PBM+C attracts a discerning audience eager to discover significant works at the forefront of contemporary, modern, classical modern, post-war, and pop art.

As the region continues to draw a growing number of high-net-worth residents, PBM+C stands as the winter’s most influential fair, offering a rare opportunity to acquire works by leading artists represented by globally respected galleries.

Beyond the fair itself, PBM+C benefits from its timing and location in dynamic West Palm Beach. The 2026 edition coincides with the Palm Beach International Boat Show, one of the world’s premier marine events. Set along the waterfront and Flagler Drive, the Boat Show showcases more than $1.2 billion in yachts and marine accessories, creating an atmosphere of luxury and energy that complements the art fair experience. Together, these events transform the city into a hub of culture, design, and high-end lifestyle.

Offering an intimate yet world-class setting, Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary continues to strengthen its role as the essential winter destination for those passionate about art, collecting, and the evolving conversations shaping today’s global creative community.

Art Basel Hong Kong 2026 arrives with a renewed sense of purpose, gathering 240 galleries from 41 countries and territories to celebrate the depth and reach of contemporary art across the Asia-Pacific region. With more than half of the participating galleries operating within the region—and nearly thirty rooted in Hong Kong—the fair continues to honor the city’s longstanding position as a cultural crossroads. This edition welcomes an impressive range of first-time exhibitors, marking a vibrant expansion of artistic perspectives from across Europe, Asia, and the United States.

A central innovation for 2026 is Echoes, a new sector devoted to works created within the last five years. Presented through ten curated booths, Echoes offers a window into the most current artistic approaches, with each presentation featuring up to three artists. This focused model highlights emerging narratives and practices, revealing how contemporary creators interpret the world’s shifting landscapes. Early highlights include embroidered cartographies, sculptural experiments with books, and immersive spatial installations that challenge conventional forms.

The Encounters sector, dedicated to expansive installations and performances, enters a new era under a collective curatorial team of four Asia-based experts led by Mami Kataoka. Their shared approach brings together perspectives shaped by diverse cities and traditions, enriching the fair with bold and regionally grounded insights. Their collaboration demonstrates how creative leadership can strengthen connections across borders while preserving each curator’s distinct voice.

Beyond the exhibition halls, the Public Program invites visitors into a city-wide celebration of art. Film screenings, institutional partnerships, and open conversations draw audiences into a broader cultural dialogue. This year, the Film Program gains a new dimension under the guidance of media artist Ellen Pau, whose vision has influenced Hong Kong’s media arts ecosystem for decades. The Conversations series will also feature a day of discussions shaped by Venus Lau, offering a dynamic platform for exchange and reflection.

Public art remains a vital part of the fair’s identity. The M+ Facade will once again host a monumental commission, this time by Shahzia Sikander, whose animated work traces the intertwined histories of trade, power, and global exchange. Through gestures like this, Art Basel Hong Kong affirms its dedication to connecting communities, encouraging discovery, and supporting a thriving artistic network that extends far beyond the fair’s walls.

The Dallas Art Fair is a premier event in the contemporary and modern art world, bringing together galleries, collectors, curators, and artists from around the globe.

RE:FAIR was conceived to challenge the conventions of traditional art fairs and create a dedicated space where photography takes centre stage. Rooted in Berlin, a city synonymous with freedom and avant-garde culture, the fair brings together artists, galleries, and curators united by a vision of art that is alive, in dialogue with its time, and constantly evolving.

In a period of profound transformation for photography, RE:FAIR highlights the shifting dynamics of the market.

Through this inclusive approach, the fair nurtures dialogue between emerging and established voices, institutions, and collectors, offering equitable representation and a richer understanding of today’s photographic landscape.

By merging experimentation with respect for tradition, RE:FAIR positions itself as a vital platform for contemporary photography, inviting audiences to experience the medium in ways that are both innovative and deeply connected to its artistic roots.
