Art Fair Iraq
Connecting Artists, Galleries, and Global Collectors
Showcasing Iraq’s artistic excellence through a curated platform that brings together artists, galleries, institutions, and international patrons.
A Cultural and Commercial Gateway for Iraqi Art

With a strong foundation rooted in Mesopotamian heritage and contemporary artistic innovation, the fair creates opportunities for cultural exchange, artistic collaboration, and global visibility for Iraqi creatives.
