MENART FAIR BRUSSELS AT THE BOGHOSSIAN FOUNDATION (VILLA EMPAIN)
3 - 5 FEBRUARY 2023
|
3RD EDITION OF THE MODERN & CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR
DEDICATED TO ARTISTS FROM THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA
|
After
the success of its launch in Paris, the team of MENART FAIR is pleased
to invite you to its third edition, in Brussels from 3 to 5 February
2023 (VIP opening on 2 February 2023).
|
|
A
selection of ART + DESIGN from international galleries will be brought
together for four days at the Boghossian Foundation (Villa Empain), a
key venue in Brussels’ artistic life.
|
The
Villa Empain, Art Deco style, built from 1931 to 1934 on order of Baron
Louis Empain, from the Belgian-Swiss Michel Polak, born in Mexico on
January 27, 1885 and died in Brussels on October 4, 1948. He was the
architect of the world of luxury and elegance of the interwar period.
The villa, a witness to the architecture of its time, has become a
cultural place of Brussels' artistic life.

« Full
of their cultural, historical and structural diversity, the 19
countries of the ME.NA are creative breeding grounds for an intense
artistic wealth. They are rooted in their own cultural tradition,
nourished by their unique history.
The key to our development and our
success is the emergence of a market that is attracting growing
interest among collectors and the public, as we have seen in the
feedback of our previous editions »,
says Laure d’Hauteville, founder & director.

« Belgium has always appealed to me by the quality of its collections and their visionary approach. Menart
Fair, an emerging fair, has its place in Brussels, especially at the
Boghossian Foundation. Visitors will have the opportunity to discover a
plethora of artists who, some of whom, are recognized in their country
of origin, but not yet in Europe. By its human size, bringing together
about thirty galleries, collectors will have time to visit the stands,
talk to exhibitors and discover young designers, in addition to artists »,
says Joanna Chevalier, artistic director.

« Since
its opening in 2010, the Boghossian Foundation has promoted a dialogue
between Eastern and Western cultures through the universal language of
art. Through our programme of exhibitions and events, we contribute to
a better knowledge and understanding of each other.
With its ambitious
programme, Menart Fair echoes our mission and we are looking forward to
this first edition at the Villa Empain. »
explains Louma Salamé, director of the Boghossian Foundation.
