Lille Art Up!

From 12 to 15 March 2026, Lille Art Up! will hold its 18th edition, putting young artists in the spotlight. More than ever, the contemporary art fair is affirming its ambition: to offer a space for discovery, dialogue and commitment to emerging creativity. With ‘New Horizons’ as its guiding theme, it opens up a field of reflection resolutely focused on artistic exploration, alternative aesthetics and hybrid practices. This committed theme invites established galleries to reaffirm their role as facilitators by highlighting emerging talent, young galleries to promote their bold vision of art, and cultural structures to propose unexpected curatorial projects. By embracing these new horizons, Lille Art Up! chooses to take a close look at artists who break down barriers between disciplines, repurpose materials and invent new forms of narrative to forcefully question contemporary issues.
