International Fair of Contemporary Art. It fosters meetings between contemporary art world actors and has made of its intimate format (around 20 curatorial projects) a stamp for quality of relations and artistic statements.
ART-O-RAMA, the first international contemporary art fair in the south of France, has been developing since 2007 a new format that makes it unique, an exclusive selection of international galleries made by a demanding artistic committee on the basis of a specific project. Each booth is then considered an exhibition space which architectural specificities lie on the gallery's curatorial proposition for our fair. We enable gallery owners to present themselves under a unique and original light by signing their booth with their artistic line.

Guest Project
Shanaynay, Paris
Guest Artist
Yann Gerstberger, Marseille
Each year, we invite a non-profit organization to be our Guest Project. This year, Shanaynay, one of the few Paris-based artist-run spaces, will present a special project that questions the financing and functioning of independent art spaces in France.
Our Guest Artist, Yann Gerstberger, selected by last year's galleries, will show new pieces that he is currently producing in Mexico City. Those pieces will be shown in a booth specifically designed for the occasion. We will also support the production of his first monographic catalogue edited by éditions P.
