The DenizBank III. IAAF Izmir Art Fair will meet art enthusiasts at Fuar Izmir between May 13–17, 2026. Standing out as one of the most significant gatherings of contemporary art, the fair will bring the art world together in Izmir for the third time.
Supported by DenizBank as the main sponsor—following the successful sixth edition of IAAF held in Istanbul in recent months—the Izmir leg of the fair serves as a comprehensive platform uniting various artistic disciplines.
120 Galleries and 1,600 Artists Participating
The fair will host 120 galleries and approximately 1,600 artists from both Turkey and abroad. Works across diverse disciplines, including painting, sculpture, relief, and glass art, will be on display. The event is expected to attract nearly 30,000 art lovers and collectors, with high collector interest anticipated again this year.
A Spotlight for Young Artists
IAAF Izmir draws attention with its mission to increase the visibility of young artists and support their creative output. Thanks to specially designated areas within the fair, emerging talents will have the opportunity to introduce their work to a much wider audience.

-
Talks and Panels: Sessions focusing on interior architecture, spatial design, and art production through interdisciplinary lenses.
