Travel programme 2026
Marrakech
From 6-8 February 2026, we travel to Marrakech, on the occasion of 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair. The fair will take place both at La Mamounia hotel and multidisciplinary art space DaDa in the heart of the bustling Medina. This exciting expansion demonstrates the fairs commitment to the dynamic Moroccan art scene. As a thriving hub for the continent’s art scene, Marrakech serves as an ideal backdrop for the fair, capitalising on the city’s creative spirit nurtured by a community of artists, galleries, and institutions.
Lisbon
From 28 to 31 May 2026, we’ll travel to Lisbon for ARCO Lisboa, the Portuguese edition of the renowned ARCO art fair. In addition to visiting the fair, we’ll explore leading galleries and artists’ studios, and take a day trip to Quinta do Quetzal in the Alentejo region, where Dutch collectors Cees and Inge de Bruin present their private collection of contemporary art on a stunning estate that brings together art, wine, architecture, and nature.
