Menart Fair Paris at the Palais d’Iéna

September in Paris is calling, MENART Fair will be held at the Palais d'Iéna from the 14th/15th to the 17th September 2023. Throughout, art galleries will highlight artworks—a selection of ART + DESIGN from the countries of North Africa, the Levant, the Gulf and Iran.

Founded by Laure d’Hauteville with Joanna Chevalier as artistic director, MENART Fair unravels the strength, impact and alluring art that the region holds and relays. Artworks on view cover multiple notions and themes, from politics to landscapes, emotions to expressions, from both emerging and established artists; creativity through paintings, sculptures and designs from contemporary art, modern art and cultural heritage.

Art has a way of connecting us all together, Laure d’Hauteville and Joanna Chevalier bring forth through MENART Fair a setting for artistic dialogue, their insight and commitment to art creating links across the fair between the Mena region and Europe, alongside a set of talks, dance and musical events.

Art from MENA blends politics, history, expressive and poetic elements rooted in culture and profoundness, communicating its diversity and depth. Below a preview of the galleries and artists with some of their captivating artworks that will be shown at MENART FAIR in Paris this autumn!
