VILLA RÓŻ is the latest edition of the international art fair organized by Art Warsaw, taking place in the 19th-century palace at Aleja Róż 1 in Warsaw.
Maintaining an intimate scale and a strong focus on artistic quality, we will host 56 contemporary art galleries. The initiative expands on the successful model of earlier Art Warsaw projects such as Art Warsaw Miodowa 2025 and NADA Villa Warsaw 2024 and 2025, all achieving exceptional attendance and receiving widespread acclaim across the press and social media.
Art Warsaw showcases leading galleries from Poland and Central and Eastern Europe, and couples them with a thoughtful selection of galleries from around the world. The fair serves as a platform for artistic voices that have for years operated outside the dominant Western-centric market, and are now drawing rising attention from collectors, curators, and institutions.
This year’s edition welcomes numerous galleries representing artists from our region, such as Romanian Galeria Plan B (Cluj-Napoca, Berlin) and Suprainfinit Gallery (Bucharest), Czech Hunt Kastner (Prague), Voloshyn Gallery (Kyiv, Miami), which presents Ukrainian art, as well as Gregor Podnar (Vienna). We are also joined by galleries from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, including Kim? Contemporary Art Centre, Kogo Gallery, 427 Gallery and Contour Art Gallery. Participants from Western Europe include Hollybush Gardens (London), Galerie Nordenhake (Berlin, Stockholm, Mexico City) and Carlier Gebauer (Berlin, Madrid) alongside galleries from the Netherlands, Italy and Germany. This year also marks a return of Japanese galleries to Warsaw: Misako & Rosen and Waitingroom (Tokyo), while Chinese Mangrove Gallery (Shenzhen) is joining Art Warsaw for the first time. The Polish scene remains one of the pillars of the fair as we present prominent Warsaw galleries including Foksal Gallery Foundation, Raster, Leto, Monopol, Piktogram, BWA, Stereo, and many more.
A signature characteristic of Art Warsaw lies in its embedding of contemporary art within unconventional architectural spaces across the city. Departing from neutral white-cube spaces, Art Warsaw events settle into the living, breathing fabric of the city – abandoned palaces, former hospitals, and embassies. We are interested in how contemporary art interacts with these settings and reveals new layers of meaning to the public.
Contemporary Lynx is a media partner of the art fair.
