Art&Bali art fair has just wrapped up its very first edition (12-14 September) with a small but tightly curated suite of 17 galleries.

According to statistics shared with ArtsHub, Art&Bali welcomed around 10,000 people for its inaugural fair with over 25% of the art on display sold by the end of the three-day event. Art fairs usually have a carry-on effect, so deals and transactions can still occur post-event with the relationships established contributing towards a long-term collector base.
