1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair is excited to announce the return of its event, scheduled to take place from February 8-11, 2024, at la Mamounia and DaDa in Marrakech. This expansion reflects the fair’s remarkable success, with dedicated programming, specially curated content, events, and partnerships throughout the week.

Selected galleries at DaDa and la Mamounia will showcase curated selections of groundbreaking contemporary pieces by both emerging and established artists. The program includes events and gatherings across Marrakech, celebrating the city’s rich cultural landscape.

The fourth edition on the African continent took place from 9-12 February 2023, welcoming leading galleries from Africa and around the world. The event featured an ambitious programme of talks and events in partnership with local institutions such as Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech, Musée d’Art Contemporain Africain Al Madeen (MACAAL), Institut Français, LE 18, and Fondation Montresso among others.

In February 2018, the fair was successfully launched in Marrakech, allowing 1-54 to broaden its reach and further diversify its portfolio of exhibiting and promoting gallerists as well as artists connected to Africa. Marrakech provides the perfect setting for the fair, given its dynamic arts scene and creative energy fostered by artists, galleries, and institutions.
