HolidayCity.com – Art aficionados, curators, reputable artists, members of the media and curious art lovers from more than 66 countries are expected to make a beeline for the 37th edition of the International Contemporary Art Fair or FIAC 2010 which would be held from 21 – 24 October 2010. The magnificent settings of the Grand Palais, the Cour Carrée of the Louvre and the Jardin des Tuileries would once again play host to the fair. With more than 80,000 visitors from around the world expected, Paris hotels would certainly be doing a roaring business.

For this year’s edition, some of the artistic movements featured include the XXth and XXIth century visual arts with focus on all mediums such as painting, sculpture, performances, films and videos as well as digital arts. Only art galleries are allowed to participate and the numbers are expected to increase from the 203 foreign and French galleries that participated in 2009. The main events would centre on the three venues with the Grand Palais hosting exhibits from the modern and contemporary art galleries and the design sector of the fair. At the Cour Carrée of the Louvre, visitors can check out the Lafayette Sector where works from 16 galleries, chosen by a jury of respected curators, would be on display. The Lafayette Prize would be awarded to one of the artists represented there.

Lee Lai Huat, CEO of HolidayCity.com and an avid art collector said, “The romantic city of Paris would once again attract art lovers from all over the world to view one of the largest collections of art exhibitions at the International Contemporary Art Fair. With more than 200 galleries participating, visitors would be rest assured of an unforgettable experience.” He went on to remark, “Apart from the exhibitions, many other events would be held such as performances, conferences and many more art-themed affairs. Paris accommodation would be selling like hot cakes and visitors are advised to make their arrangement early on.”
