go TO RENNES FOR A UNIQUE FAIR FROM 24 TO 26 JANUARY 2026
For 28 years, the ST-ART contemporary art fair in Strasbourg has established itself as the leading fair in the region. Building on this success and experience, ST-ART is launching a new fair outside its usual venue, which will take place in Rennes at the Couvent des Jacobins from 24 to 26 January 2026.
This new destination will offer emerging galleries a strategic position in the culturally vibrant Breton market. This first edition in Rennes will reaffirm ST-ART's DNA, providing an unmissable event for collectors and art professionals in a city rich in historical heritage.
The fair will host 40 art galleries in an intimate setting covering 1,000 m², including partnerships with local institutions promoting the emergence of innovative artistic projects.
The Couvent des Jacobins, an exceptional setting in the heart of the historic district
The Couvent des Jacobins is a historic building dating back to the 14th century that has been sustainably renovated and equipped with everything needed to host events. With its blend of historic and modern architecture, it is the perfect setting for a contemporary art fair. It is also one of the few conference centres in France located right in the city centre. An ideal location that allows everyone to enjoy life in Rennes.
This year, the convent is hosting an exhibition of the Pinault collection dedicated to contemporary art in Rennes. All that was missing was a contemporary art fair to complete this offering and attract collectors from the region and beyond.
