ARTANKARA 2026 took place from March 25–29 at ATO Congresium. The fair featured 150 exhibitors and works by over 1,500 domestic and international artists, breaking a record with 88,000 visitors.

The fair opened with the participation of Dr. Batuhan Mumcu, Deputy Minister of Culture and Tourism, and honor awards were presented in three distinct categories as part of the invitation-only preview and award ceremony. ArtAnkara once again opened a wide door for those in Ankara who keep art alive, connect with it, and breathe with it. With corridors lined with galleries, project-based works concentrated on the second floor, and the prominent creations of young artists, it became not just a fair, but a living space of encounter that captures the pulse of contemporary art. Filled with exhibitions, panels, talks, and performances, it offered days deeply immersed in art.

Offering significant opportunities for young artists and collectors, the fair will be held next on March 17–21, 2027. ARTANKARA will continue to bring art enthusiasts together while steadily expanding its influence in the international art world.
