Artgenève, the renowned art fair in Geneva, is set to host its 13th edition from January 30 to February 2, 2025, at Palexpo (Route François-Peyrot 30, 1218 Le Grand-Saconnex).
This year's fair will feature approximately 80 international galleries specialising in modern and contemporary art, offering a diverse range of artistic expressions from painting to video art. Moreover, Artgenève 2025 will present around 30 solo shows, all eligible for the Prix Solo Artgenève-F.P.Journe. This award is determined by a distinguished jury, with the winning artwork being acquired and donated to a Geneva institution.
The fair also emphasises its commitment to the local art scene by including Swiss institutions, art spaces, and art schools in its programme. Notably, the Prix Mobilière will honour a young Swiss talent, further supporting emerging artists.
Artgenève continues to be a significant event in the international art fair calendar. It fosters an intimate atmosphere that bridges national and international art communities. The 2025 edition promises a rich and diverse experience for all attendees.
