Art3f Paris

The Art3f Paris is an international public fair for contemporary art, held twice a year at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, one of Europe’s most prestigious exhibition centers. Since its founding in 2014 by the Art3f organization, which specializes in innovative art formats, the fair has aimed to reinvent the traditional art fair concept—accessible, welcoming, and free of barriers, true to its motto: “sans code, sans préjugé et décomplexé” (“without codes, without prejudice, and uninhibited”).

Unlike many elitist art fairs, Art3f positions itself as an open and authentic platform that appeals to both newcomers and seasoned collectors. At its heart lies the direct interaction between artists, galleries, and visitors. The fair fosters genuine encounters—not behind closed VIP lounges, but right in the midst of the exhibition.

A broad stylistic spectrum of contemporary art is on display, ranging from figurative and abstract painting to sculptures made of bronze, glass, and innovative materials, as well as photography, digital art, NFTs, and applied design. Urban and Pop Art are particularly prominent, with Art3f emerging as a key platform for international street art and pop culture-inspired expressions. Emerging talents meet established names, creating a diverse and often surprising exhibition experience.

One of the defining features of the fair is its international scope. Artists and galleries from over 20 countries—including Belgium, Spain, Italy, Korea, the United States, and several African nations—present their work, offering intercultural insight into the contemporary art scene in Europe and beyond.

Yet Art3f Paris is far more than just a sales platform. Live performances, where artists create works on-site, book signings, special exhibitions, art talks, and lectures on current art market topics transform the fair into a vibrant artistic experience. A centrally located restaurant serving international cuisine, accompanied by live music, contributes to the relaxed and almost festive atmosphere.

A particular highlight is the charity auction held on the final day of the fair, where selected artworks are auctioned in support of regional artists’ associations—demonstrating a strong commitment to the local art community.

Art3f Paris welcomes art lovers, collectors, gallerists, and the curious alike. It uniquely blends art, human connection, and experience—lively, inclusive, and always in tune with the pulse of the international art world.

The 15th Art3f takes place on 3 days from Fri., 26.09.2025 to Sun., 28.09.2025 in Paris.
