About the Fair

ART021 Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair returns for its 14th edition in November 2026, bringing Chinese and international galleries to the Shanghai Exhibition Centre during the city’s annual autumn art week. Since launching in 2013, the fair has grown into one of mainland China’s leading platforms for contemporary art, and typically runs the same week as the West Bund Art & Design fair elsewhere in the city. The fair is organised by Shanghai Zero Equals One Cultural Communication Co., Ltd.
