Docks Art Fair

La Sucriere, Lyon

Created in 2007 by gallery owners Olivier and Patricia Houg, Docks Art Fair is the only biennial fair devoted to solo shows by contemporary artists. This monograph focus is coupled with a unique artistic approach, in an accessible, friendly environment.

2011, the year of consecration

Following the extremely successful 2009 event, the 3rd Docks Art Fair will welcome, from September 13th to 18th, 30 internationally renowned French and foreign galleries. Ideally located on the exceptional site of the Esplanade de la Sucrière, in the very heart of the Confluence district in Lyon, this young fair is part of a dynamic regional network of institutions dedicated to contemporary art (Lyon MAC, Villeurbanne IAC, le Magasin in Grenoble...)

The friendly yet passionate spirit of Docks Art Fair, far from the great events in Paris, attracts an audience of major collectors and international professionals from the art world, as well as amateurs and novices who enjoy the special didactic approach and the accessibility of the gallery owners and artists. As the first fair in September and on the strength of the interest is has aroused in the art world, Docks Art Fair has found its place in the calendar of international art fairs and is now seen as THE essential event of the early autumn.

32 French and foreign art galleries have been chosen by Docks Art Fair selection committee to exhibit at the fair, next Sept. 13-18, on the Esplanade de la Sucrière in Lyon, France. Following the solo show concept, each exhibitor will present the work of one artist only.
