ART3F Hauts-de-France 2027 in Douai: contemporary art fair

ART3F Hauts-de-France launches its first edition in Douai from 5 to 7 February 2027, extending the contemporary art fair format that the brand has been running since 2012 across more than twenty European cities. The event brings together galleries, painters, sculptors, photographers and artists chosen by an independent committee, with the aim of connecting today's art with collectors, enthusiasts and families. The fair takes place at Gayant Expo, a venue with 7,000 sqm of exhibition space and extensive parking. Beyond the stands, visitors can enjoy a bar-restaurant with continuous service, live music at Friday's opening reception and a relaxed atmosphere designed for discovering and buying directly from artists. For those travelling from further afield, Douai is less than an hour from Lille, Paris or Brussels, making it easy to plan a weekend stay. The organisers recommend booking accommodation early through their official partner, as demand is high during the fair days.
