About FOCUS
We present the trendiest art and the contemporary messages of artistic discourse to the audience under a unifying theme. Rather than simply buying and selling art, we curate an art fair that offers a meaningful in-person encounter and emphasises the deep connection between art and experience.
Focus Art Fair is an Asia-centred art fair that spans from Asia to the Middle East, providing a distinctive and immersive experience that blends the virtual and the real. With curatorial depth that continues to evolve in the minds of its audience, Focus is a place where everything coexists and where anyone can create their own narrative.
