The Monaco Art Week association was born out of a desire to federate the galleries, auction houses and institutions present in the Principality, thus promoting Monaco as an unmissable art venue, and of course boosting the art market in the Principality.
For its 3rd edition, 14 galleries and auction houses are joining forces for a week to invite the public, collectors, professionals and art lovers to come together around an artistic journey. The originality of MONACO ART WEEK lies in the dialogue and resonance between the different periods of art: classical, modern and contemporary.
An artistic offering
rich and varied
The MAW is unique in that it covers all periods of art history. Indeed, auction houses and galleries of ancient, modern and contemporary art have come together around a single criterion: quality. Each participant prepares an original exhibition for the event, highlighting his or her field and disciplines, artists and history.
Ease the access
to cultural offerings
Creating a sense of community
One of the founding wishes of the association is to register the event as a strong artistic event, with attention paid to cultural mediation. Each edition of MAW is accompanied by a round-table discussion on a topical issue linked to the changing art world, led by internationally renowned speakers.
Promoting the local art scene at a key time
MAW takes place at a key moment in the Principality’s artistic calendar, when the Grimaldi Forum hosts the artmonte-carlo modern and contemporary art fair.
The MAW complements this offering, showcasing a varied artistic landscape and quality programming, supported by particularly active members within the principality.
