With 31 000 visitors during the 2016 edition, Lille Contemporary Art Fair gets bigger and becomes the leader in French Contemporary Art Fairs outside Paris!

With nocturne openings, Art Up wants to trigger visits : pre-vernissage, followed up with official vernissage on Wednesday night, Night of Art, an exceptional evening during which each exhibitor invites their artists to meet with the public!

Organised in private lounges right in the heart of the Fair, cocktails and business meetings are an opportunity to gather an audience with significant purchasing power (Mercedes, Vinci, Crédit du Nord customers…). In 2014, 1500 visitors were company guests.

For a complete sight of contemporary art, each year, Art Up organizes one exhibition or more to showcase universes unknown to our visitors. We also set up conferences with skilled professionals who decipher contemporary art and discuss current topics.
