Dates and organisation
The eleventh edition of Art Monte-Carlo takes place from Thursday 22 to Saturday 24 April 2027 at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco. The fair, founded in 2016, is organised by Palexpo, a company based near Geneva, within the Informa group; long held in July, it moved to the spring in 2026.
Around it, the Principality composes a short art week: in 2026, Monaco Art Week brought together galleries and auction houses at the same time, and the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco presented its exhibitions at the Villa Paloma.
Tickets and private view
Admission tickets are sold online by the fair; in 2026, the Grimaldi Forum page pointed to the same ticket shop. The private view, held in 2026 on the evening before the opening, is reserved for guests of the fair and the galleries; these invitations are not for sale.
TGZ Conciergerie sells no invitations and resells no tickets: we arrange the purchase of tickets in your name where possible. Our guide How to Attend Art Monte-Carlo? details each route in.
Stay and journeys
The Larvotto seafront puts the fair within walking distance; the Place du Casino and the Carré d'Or, a few minutes away by car. At the end of April, before the high season, rooms remain more accessible than in summer; a villa on the Riviera suits a group.
You arrive through Nice Côte d'Azur airport, then by helicopter in about seven minutes, or by road in half an hour outside peak traffic. Our guides Where to Stay During Art Monte-Carlo? and How to Get to Art Monte-Carlo? go into the detail.
Style and evenings
There is no dress code imposed at the fair. Custom favours understated elegance, suited to spring on the Riviera: light fabrics, a jacket for the evening and the sea breeze, comfortable shoes for the aisles. The private view and the dinners sometimes specify the dress on the invitation.
Gallery dinners and collectors' receptions are held by invitation; we pass on requests where possible, without any guarantee, and create your own evening if you wish.
