ST-ART Strasbourg 2026 – France

What to expect in 2026

ST-ART Strasbourg 2026 is the 30th edition of the contemporary art fair held in Strasbourg, bringing together galleries, artists, collectors, cultural organisations and art enthusiasts. The fair presents a broad selection of contemporary art, including painting, sculpture, photography, prints, engraving, glass and other forms of visual creation. Its programme combines commercial gallery presentations with curated exhibitions and projects connected with regional and European cultural organisations.

The 2026 edition has a strong anniversary programme and places particular emphasis on the diversity of contemporary artistic practices. More than 60 galleries are represented, with exhibitors coming from Strasbourg, other parts of France and several European countries. Visitors can discover established artists alongside younger and emerging creators.

The programme also includes several special exhibitions. FRAC Alsace presents “Seconde nature”, an exhibition examining relationships between humans and the living world through works from its collection. A dedicated exhibition of Philippe Mohlitz focuses on his engraving practice and includes 83 works. Café SATI presents a retrospective of its Talents SATI programme, while Espace Européen Gutenberg contributes a project connected with printing and graphic arts.

For visitors interested in collecting, ST-ART also provides a dedicated ST-ART your collection initiative. This part of the fair is intended to make contemporary art more approachable for new collectors by presenting selected works below the organiser’s stated threshold.

The fair’s combination of gallery booths, institutional projects, emerging-artist initiatives and special exhibitions makes it possible to experience several different aspects of contemporary art within one exhibition programme.

Venue & exhibition site

ST-ART is held at the Parc des Expositions de Strasbourg, located at Place de Bordeaux, 67000 Strasbourg, France. The exhibition complex is situated in the Wacken district, north of Strasbourg’s historic centre and close to the European Quarter.

The Parc des Expositions provides the large exhibition environment required for ST-ART’s gallery programme and special projects. Its exhibition infrastructure allows the fair to combine individual gallery stands with larger institutional presentations and curated installations.

The venue’s location also makes it possible for visitors to combine ST-ART with other cultural activities around Strasbourg. The European Quarter, city centre and historic areas of Strasbourg are accessible from the exhibition site using public transport.

Full exhibition programme

The 2026 programme includes gallery presentations as well as several dedicated artistic and cultural projects.

Seconde nature

FRAC Alsace presents “Seconde nature”, an exhibition drawn from its collection. The project explores relationships between humans and the living world and considers nature as a subject of observation, fascination and artistic interpretation.

Philippe Mohlitz

ST-ART presents a major exhibition devoted to Philippe Mohlitz, known for his detailed burin engravings. The presentation includes 83 works and explores the artist’s distinctive visual world, including visionary architecture, unusual machines, mysterious landscapes and enigmatic figures.

Café SATI Talents

Café SATI presents a retrospective devoted to the artists who have participated in its Talents SATI programme. The initiative has supported emerging artistic creation through its partnership with the Haute École des Arts du Rhin.

Espace Européen Gutenberg

Espace Européen Gutenberg contributes a programme connected with printing, publishing and graphic-art techniques. Its participation reflects Strasbourg’s historical relationship with printing and the continuing relevance of traditional graphic processes.

ST-ART your collection

ST-ART your collection is designed for visitors who are beginning to collect contemporary art. Participating galleries offer selected works below the organiser’s stated €1,000 threshold, equivalent to approximately $1,136 using the ECB reference exchange rate of €1 = $1.1355 published on September 30, 2026.

Featured artists & designers

ST-ART is primarily an art fair rather than a dedicated design event, so the 2026 programme focuses on artists and contemporary artistic practices. The official artist database includes a wide range of creators working in different media and techniques.

Artists listed in the official programme include Albert Bitran, Antoine Stevens, Evdoxia, Hydrane and Jan Voss, among many others. The database includes works in painting, sculpture, photography, engraving and printmaking.

Antoine Stevens is represented through several works in the official artist database. Evdoxia is represented with sculptural work, including “Fragments of circles B”, a wall sculpture made using oxidised iron and wire.

Jan Voss is represented through printmaking techniques including aquatint, etching, drypoint and woodcut. His presence demonstrates the fair’s continued interest in graphic and print-based practices alongside contemporary painting and sculpture.

The wider programme also gives prominence to Philippe Mohlitz, whose dedicated presentation provides a substantial examination of his engraving work.

Galleries & exhibitors

The 2026 edition brings together more than 60 galleries and exhibitors from France and other European countries. The official exhibitor programme includes galleries from Strasbourg and the wider Alsace region as well as international participants.

Returning exhibitors identified by the organisers include Yannick Kraemer Gallery in Strasbourg, Galerie Murmure in Colmar, Justbee Galerie in Masevaux, Galerie Espiral in Noja, Spain, and Pigment Gallery in Barcelona.

The 2026 edition also includes international exhibitors such as Galerie Urbaneez in Lausanne and Anaid Art Gallery in Bucharest.

Galerie Urbaneez focuses on graffiti and street art and presents artists through paintings, drawings, sculptures, photography, art toys, limited editions and customised objects. Its official ST-ART exhibitor page identifies its booth as 2B03.

The gallery section provides visitors with opportunities to discover contemporary artists represented by established galleries as well as newer practices from across Europe.

Exhibition halls & sections

ST-ART uses the exhibition infrastructure of the Parc des Expositions rather than presenting the event as a collection of small independent venues. The fair combines gallery stands with dedicated exhibition and cultural sections.

The official artist database identifies booth locations for participating artists. For example, works by Antoine Stevens and Hydrane are associated with booth 2B03, while works by Evdoxia and Jan Voss are listed under booth 3A04.

The main areas of the programme include gallery presentations, the FRAC Alsace exhibition, the Philippe Mohlitz presentation, Café SATI Talents, Espace Européen Gutenberg and ST-ART your collection.

This combination creates a programme that moves between commercial contemporary art, institutional collections, emerging artists, historical techniques and accessible collecting.

Talks, workshops & special events

ST-ART’s programme extends beyond gallery presentations through special exhibitions, cultural projects and activities connected with Strasbourg’s wider contemporary-art scene.

Strasbourg Art Week forms part of the 2026 programme and brings together galleries, museums, bookstores and cultural organisations throughout the city. The programme includes exhibitions, guided visits, conferences and a cultural rally.

The initiative gives visitors an opportunity to explore contemporary art beyond the main exhibition venue. It also creates connections between ST-ART and the city’s galleries and cultural institutions.

Espace Européen Gutenberg contributes an educational dimension through its focus on printing and graphic-art techniques. Café SATI’s Talents SATI retrospective provides another opportunity to discover artists supported through an emerging-artist programme.

The official programme may add further individual talks, workshops and activities, so visitors should consult the event’s programme information for the latest schedule.

Must-see exhibitions

“Seconde nature” by FRAC Alsace is one of the major institutional presentations. It uses works from the FRAC collection to examine the relationship between humans and the living world and provides a museum-level perspective within the commercial fair.

The Philippe Mohlitz presentation is another major highlight, with 83 engravings showing the artist’s distinctive approach to burin engraving and his imaginative visual language.

The Café SATI Talents retrospective is important for visitors interested in emerging artists. It presents artists connected with the Talents SATI programme and reflects the organisation’s support for young contemporary creation.
