Première International Art Show on Côte d’Azur 

The show has established itself over the years as the main international artistic event on the Côte d’Azur. artmonte-carlo is established following the success of artgenève, whose 10th edition will be celebrated at the end of January 2022 at Palexpo Geneva.

artmonte-carlo has the privilege of being one of the first art fairs to be held in Europe, in the context of particularly rich artistic activity this summer on the Côte d’Azur: including a major retrospective of Alberto Giacometti at the Grimaldi Forum, without forgetting the exhibitions at the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco (NMNM), at the Mamac, at the Fondation Maeght, at the Villa Arson and at the new Fondation CAB Saint-Paul de Vence.
