ArtDayME: The Grand Egyptian Museum will host the seventh Art Cairo fair from Jan. 22-26.

The 2026 event takes the theme “Arab. Art. Here,” with curators aiming to celebrate the Arabic language as a living art form, a bridge between past and present, and a source of creative expression.

It will be enhanced by the venue — the world’s largest museum dedicated to a single civilization, which was officially opened in a glittering ceremony on Nov. 1.

“This fair was created as a platform for Arab artists and galleries to thrive, and to offer a space that feels accessible and inspiring to everyone — from loyal and young collectors to visitors who simply love to experience art,” said Mohammed Younis, Art Cairo’s founder and director.

“Our mission has always been to nurture the regional art ecosystem and continue shaping a homegrown dialogue around creativity and culture.”

The fair will feature galleries from Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Turkiye, Senegal, Nigeria and beyond.

It will also pay tribute to Alexandria-born artist Guirguis Lotfi, honoring his contribution to Egypt’s artistic landscape and his influence on contemporary art.

Organizers have reported that total sales at the sixth edition of the fair exceeded $1.2 million.
