Art Riga Fair 2023

20–24 September 2023

The 9th edition of ART RIGA FAIR returns to the Latvian Railway History Museum, the fair's original home since 2014, with around 60 artists and galleries from Germany, France, Ukraine, Lithuania, Estonia, the USA and Latvia. According to rus.lsm.lv, this was the first time in the fair's history that Lithuanian and Estonian artists had such expanded representation.

A VIP preview evening with live music and guided stand tours opens the fair on 19 September, followed by five public days of talks, workshops, performances by young artists and a children's creative playground. Exhibition stands were LED lit, and each exhibitor received a two page entry in the fair's electronic catalogue.

Photographs from the fair.

After two years on the road, first at a central address on Tērbatas iela, then inside the Zunda Towers high rise, ART RIGA FAIR came home. On 19 September 2023 it reopened the Latvian Railway History Museum for a VIP preview, then ran five public days through 24 September: the ninth edition, around 60 artists and galleries, and, for the first time, an expanded Lithuanian and Estonian presence.
