Travel Program 2026

Marrakech

From 6-8 February 2026 we travel to Marrakech, on the occasion of 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair. The fair will take place both at La Mamounia hotel and multidisciplinary art space DaDa in the heart of the bustling Medina. This exciting expansion demonstrates the fairs commitment to the dynamic Moroccan art scene. As a thriving hub for the continent’s art scene, Marrakech serves as an ideal backdrop for the fair, capitalizing on the city’s creative spirit nurtured by a community of artists, galleries, and institutions.

During our visit we gain insight into the vibrant Moroccan art scene, ranging from visits to the fairgrounds, exploring the studios of local artists and gaining insight into the market with visits to numerous galleries. Our program includes dinner and drinks at several locations in Marrakech that celebrate the rich cultural landscape of the city.

Deadline for registration: 1 September.
