“Thanks to the collaborative effort of the co-founders of RAD Art Fair, the fair represents a paradigm shift, a ground zero from which the contemporary art scene in Romania has united its resources and talent so that the entire ecosystem can grow sustainably”, said the co-directors of RAD Art Fair Catinca Tăbăcaru and Daniela Pălimariu.
The presented works will stimulate the imagination and critical spirit of the public, inviting an artistic dialogue on topics related to social, cultural or political realities. RAD Talks, the series of discussions and debates dedicated to contemporary art, will once again bring to the forefront artists, curators, gallerists, and other special guests who will address current topics for the contemporary art market.
This year, an enjoyable experience is represented again by the RAD Sculpture Park, set up in the CARO garden on the shores of Lake Tei on an impressive exhibition surface of 5000 m². Related experiences, guided tours and educational workshops will complement the event.
“The results obtained with the first two editions confirmed that we are on the right track. Our audience doubled from one year to the next, and sales tripled from the first to the second edition. Moreover, the audience that crossed the threshold of RAD ART FAIR was exceptional every time, attending conferences, meetings and visits to private collections. That is, an active, interested audience, an audience that grows from one year to the next”, said Matei Câltia, co-founder of the RAD Association.
Tickets for RAD ART FAIR 2025 will be available from April when the detailed program of the event will be published.
