Art Monte-Carlo 2026 – Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Monaco’s International Art Fair
Each spring, Monaco’s cultural calendar welcomes one of its most elegant artistic events: Art Monte-Carlo, an international art fair dedicated to modern and contemporary art. The 10th edition will take place from 29 April to 1 May 2026 at the iconic Grimaldi Forum Monaco, bringing together leading international galleries, collectors, and art lovers from around the world.
A Leading Art Fair on the Côte d’AzuR
Founded in 2016, Art Monte-Carlo was created to establish a high-quality artistic platform on the French Riviera and respond to the strong interest of collectors and art enthusiasts in the region.
Unlike larger art fairs, Art Monte-Carlo is intentionally curated at a refined scale. Around thirty international galleries specialising in modern and contemporary art are invited to exhibit each year, creating an elegant and carefully designed exhibition environment.
The fair’s setting at the waterfront Grimaldi Forum offers a bright and sophisticated exhibition space where art, architecture, and the Mediterranean landscape meet.
What to Expect at Art Monte-Carlo 2026
Visitors can discover a diverse selection of artworks spanning painting, sculpture, photography, and contemporary installations from renowned international galleries.
Highlights typically include:
Exhibitions from leading modern and contemporary art galleries
Special curated exhibitions presented by foundations and private collections
Art Talks and conferences with collectors, curators, and market professionals
Networking opportunities for collectors, galleries, and institutions
In addition to gallery presentations, Art Monte-Carlo also features special projects and non-commercial exhibitions, allowing institutions and private collections to showcase works outside the traditional market format.
The fair’s multidisciplinary approach creates a platform where art, collecting, and cultural dialogue intersect.
Stay at Villa Monaco During Art Monte-Carlo
For visitors attending Art Monte-Carlo 2026, Villa Monaco offers a refined and private alternative to traditional hotels. Located within easy reach of the Grimaldi Forum, the villa provides the perfect setting to relax after a day of exhibitions, gallery visits, and cultural events.
With panoramic views of the Mediterranean and spacious living areas, Villa Monaco allows guests to enjoy Monaco’s art scene while retreating to a peaceful and elegant environment.
