Art3f Marseille

art3f Marseille is much more than a traditional art fair – it is a vibrant meeting place for contemporary art, emotional expression, and creative exchange. Since its founding in 2014, the fair, initiated by the art3f organization, has pursued a clear mission: to make art accessible, approachable, and directly experienced.

Every year, the international contemporary art fair opens its doors at Parc Chanot, located in the heart of Marseille, welcoming a diverse audience – from collectors and gallery owners to curious art enthusiasts, families, and interested members of the public.

art3f positions itself as a counterpoint to distant, purely commercial art events. At its core is the direct dialogue between artists and visitors – an open invitation to connect, be inspired, and share in the experience of art.

A wide variety of artworks are exhibited and available for purchase: paintings, sculptures, photographs, and mixed-media pieces – created by emerging talents as well as internationally acclaimed artists. The range spans from affordable pieces to unique high-end collector’s items.

A standout feature of the fair is the opportunity to witness live demonstrations, allowing attendees to experience the creative process up close – a format that fosters both transparency and emotional connection. On the final day of the event, a charity auction of selected works in support of local artist associations sends a strong message of regional support and community solidarity.

The exhibiting galleries and artists represent a broad spectrum of contemporary art – from painting and street art to digital creations. Alongside established galleries from across Europe, many regional artists are also featured, making the fair an important cultural bridge between the city of Marseille and the international art world.

The main target audience includes collectors, interior designers, gallery owners, art educators, and art-interested individuals who value personal access to art and appreciate the fair’s unique atmosphere.

As part of a Europe-wide series of fairs held in France, Luxembourg, and Switzerland, art3f Marseille plays a vital role in promoting contemporary art – firmly rooted in its region yet globally connected.

Parc Chanot, centrally located and easily accessible by public transport or car, provides the ideal setting for this exceptional art event. Just minutes from the city center and the Mediterranean Sea, the venue combines modern infrastructure with the cultural flair of a cosmopolitan port city.

art3f Marseille is thus an annual highlight for everyone who wants to experience art not just with their eyes – but with all their senses.

This year the Art3f takes place on 3 days from Fri., 28.11.2025 to Sun., 30.11.2025 in Marseille already for the 6th time.
