BEIRUT ART FAIR 2015: Application are open

For six years, BEIRUT ART FAIR has become the leading showcase of ME.NA.SA. creativity on the regional & international art scene.
This places it in a unique position to satisfy the collector's need for a single source which provides up-to-date information on the artists, trends, galleries, publications, and institutions which make up this fast-evolving part of the art world. The city of Beirut is at the heart of this dynamic.

Since its inception in 2010, BEIRUT ART FAIR established itself on the international artistic scene with the vision of a ME.NA.SA. labeled art which shaped its identity and power of attraction. In tune with the centers of interest of international collectors, the fair displays the creation of this region which stretches from Morocco to Indonesia, in its wide diversity.

The visitor will discover this at the 6th BEIRUT ART FAIR which will be held from the 17th till the 20th of September 2015 in the Beirut International Exhibition Leisure Center (BIEL).

BEIRUT ART FAIR has awakened collectors' appetites for all art forms: painting, sculpture, design, installation art, video and photography. The high volume of sales during the five previous editions is one measure of its success!

Seen in a broader perspective, we observe that artists from the highly diverse region have found in BEIRUT ART FAIR an important platform to express themselves beyond the usual ideological barriers and so enhance their regional and international visibility.

BEIRUT ART FAIR confirms the position of Beirut as the cultural and intellectual capital of the Arab world, at the junction between the East and the West. It is part of the international fairs dedicated to art and serves as a window for the ME.NA.SA. creation which is open to the world.
