Established in 2018, Beijing Dangdai Art Fair has been committed to the value promotion of contemporary art in China and beyond. As an iconic and inclusive contemporary art fair, Beijing Dangdai Art Fair presents a premium platform for trade, showcase and dialogue, exploring its systematic value and forming a citywide art season connecting all partners.
Beijing Dangdai Art Fair 2026 continues to collaborate with major concurrent art events including Beijing Design Week, Gallery Weekend Beijing. Over the past several years, these collective efforts have gradually shaped the “Beijing Art Season” into a cultural initiative of considerable scale and influence. As one of its central driving forces, Beijing Dangdai contributes to the vibrant and diverse artistic atmosphere that transforms Beijing each May, further positioning the city as a significant destination on the global art calendar. As the largest large-scale art fair taking place in Beijing this year, the opening of Beijing Dangdai Art Fair also marks the official launch of the 2026 Beijing Art Season.
