Presented by the Thai Galleries Association (TGA) in collaboration with The Cloud, with UOB as Lead Partner together with Siam Paragon as Venue Partner, the inaugural edition will take place from 7-11 October 2026 at NEX Hall and Art Jewel, 5th Floor, Siam Paragon.
Spanning more than 1,500 square metres, art bangkok 2026 is conceived as more than a platform for exhibiting and collecting art. It brings together more than 20 Thai and international galleries, alongside museums, institutions, collectors, art organisations, and industry specialists, creating a space for discovery, exchange, and new connections across the wider art ecosystem.
At the heart of the fair is the Gallery Zone — Ways of Seeing, featuring galleries including Art Agenda, Artas Galeri, Artemis Art, Blue Velvet Underground, Gallery CURU, G13 Gallery, Galeri Sasha, Gallery Grimson, Joyman Gallery, KYLA Gallery, L GALLERY, M Contemporary Bangkok, M Contemporary Seoul, Maison JE, Number 1 Gallery, Palette Art Space, Richard Koh Fine Art, WORKS WORKS, and UOB Art Space.
Beyond the gallery presentations, the fair unfolds across six interconnected sections. Past | Present | Future brings together artists across generations, while Art Jewel explores different contexts of collecting and the art market. Museums & Institutions — Living with Art highlights the role of cultural institutions, with curatorial partners including the Office of Contemporary Art and Culture (OCAC) and MoNWIC Art Museum.
Visitors can also explore the world behind collecting through Art Care & Stewardship, with specialist insights from Helutrans on the handling, transportation, insurance, storage, and preservation of artworks. The Art Ecosystem — Inclusive Art Circle, alongside panel discussions, knowledge-sharing sessions, networking opportunities, and a VIP Lounge, will create further opportunities for artists, collectors, galleries, and cultural leaders to connect and exchange ideas.
With The First Chapter, art bangkok sets out to establish a new meeting point for art in the city — connecting Thailand's creative community with the wider Asian and international art landscape.
