RAD ART FAIR 2026 enters its fourth edition as a collaborative platform dedicated to strengthening the contemporary art scene in Romania and increasing the visibility of local artists and galleries within an international context.

RAD brings together artists, galleries, collectors, and audiences through a carefully curated fair and an expanded ecosystem of cultural programs, practices and initiatives.

In 2026, RAD continues to expand its international reach while refining its format through a more focused, minimal approach to programming. Strengthened global partnerships and a growing international audience contribute to positioning Bucharest as an active node in the contemporary art conversation.

With a long-term vision, RAD ART FAIR remains committed to shaping the future of contemporary art in Romania over the next decade.
