About the Fair

ARQA Riyadh 2026 is a curated international art fair held in the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Designed for serious collectors, museums, cultural institutions, and visionary galleries, ARQA offers an elite stage for acquisition, exhibition, and connection.

Inspired by the cultural ambitions of Vision 2030, the fair is by invitation only — a discreet gathering where private viewings, gallery salons, and diplomatic discussions unfold across a spectacularly curated space just minutes from Riyadh’s world-class hospitality and airport.

ARQA is more than an event. It is a convergence of legacy, beauty, and influence — for those who collect with purpose and presence.

We are proud to partner with Enviro18.io, a blockchain-powered environmental platform. Exhibitors will receive the full cost of their booth in SEE — a utility token for sustainable art and tourism ecosystems.

ARQA will also host a parallel digital edition in the Metaverse through its partnership with M-art, where exhibitions will be accessible globally for one year.

Grants for Emerging Galleries

We offer limited grant-based support to outstanding young galleries operating for fewer than five years. Grants are merit-based and offer full or partial coverage for booth packages.

No discounts are given. ARQA prioritizes quality and alignment with curatorial standards.

Exhibitor Opportunities

Booth packages start at $700 USD per m² and include walls, furniture, storage, lighting, and exclusive benefits.

Floor-only space is available at $500 USD per m² (external supplier use must comply with municipal regulations).

Participation Rules

Sustainability Commitment

- Minimum artwork price: $10,000 USD

- No solo artist applications permitted. Artists must be represented by a gallery or national institution.

ARQA supports the future of art and planet. We are the first art fair in the region to issue booth fees in SEE token through our partnership with Enviro18.io.

We use eco-conscious materials and encourage digital communication and exhibition tools.

Join us in setting a new standard for environmentally and socially responsible art shows.
