FIAC, or the Paris International Art Fair, is an annual event that was founded in 1974. This event was created to bring together both modern and contemporary art galleries. These galleries showcase a wide variety of different pieces including digital arts, videos, photography, performances, installations, sculptures, and paintings. The event was founded in Paris and showcases about 200 exhibitors in the famed Grand Palais. The exhibitors include some of the most influential experts in design, contemporary art, and modern art in the world.
This event also has a goal of making these pieces more accessible to a broader audience thanks to its public programs. The FIAC Projects works with a new curator every year, along with around 40 sculptures and installations in the Petit Palais and around the Grand Palais. The Avenue Winston Churchill is made to be optimized for foot traffic to allow for everyone to see these incredible pieces. There are different museums, galleries, and institutions that are featured during this festival. This includes a special Gallery Night, to feature galleries and various other activities for attendees.
The 2021 FIAC is set to start on October 21st and will end on October 24th. You can also access online viewing rooms on the FIAC website on March 4th – 7th to catch a glimpse the pieces.
