ART TAIPEI 2025, organised by the Taiwan Art Gallery Association (TAGA), and Taipei Art Week 2025 have unveiled the theme, exhibitors and programs for the 32nd edition of the fair to be held be held at the Taipei World Trade Center Hall 1 from 24th to 27th October.

This year, ART TAIPEI and Taipei Art Week will focus on the theme ‘Intersect: Diversity Equals Togetherness’ reflecting the diverse and inclusive ecology of Taiwan's art scene while exploring the most pressing issues that face the global art community. Existing at the intersection of high-tech infrastructure and an inclusive civil society, Taiwan demonstrates a forward-thinking spirit in artistic creation – continually responding to discussions surrounding gender, ethnicity, and marginalised identities.

As one of Asia's longest standing contemporary art fairs, it will gather 128 galleries from six countries and regions, including 72 galleries from Taiwan, showcasing ART TAIPEI's commitment to spotlighting local art institutions and artists on a global stage.

Renowned international galleries such as DE SARTHE, Gana Art, Gallery Baton, Hanart TZ Gallery, Kwai Fung Hin Art Gallery, Perrotin, and Scai The Bathhouse, will also be present at the fair, fostering engagement with the local arts community as well as visiting audiences, further solidifying Taiwan's position as a key platform for global contemporary art exchange.

The highly acclaimed Taipei Art Week will also return from 18th October to 2nd November 2025, significantly expanding upon last year’s inaugural edition.

Presenting eight major exhibition zones and eight thematic projects throughout the city, Taipei Art Week reaches widely into various corners of the city – collaborating with over 70 galleries, museums, art institutions, and artist studios. This year’s edition introduces new collaborations with art institutions and public art initiatives, infusing creativity into urban life. A major highlight will be the second edition of the Taipei Art Week Forum, which deepens the city’s role as a regional hub through meaningful international exchange and cultural dialogue. Together, these programs reaffirm Taipei’s position as a vibrant cultural metropolis in Asia.

Key highlights include:

• FOCUS | Film Sector: In response to Taiwan’s identity as a global hub of technology, ART TAIPEI 2025 will feature a dedicated video art section, focusing on digital moving image practices.
• Indigenous Art Exhibition Area: ART TAIPEI continues its collaboration with the Indigenous Peoples Cultural Development Center to provide a platform for indigenous artists to showcase cultural diversity and contemporary expressions, highlighting the unique aspects of Taiwanese indigenous culture within the international art scene.

Guggenheim Museum and Foundation), Pi Li (Tai Kwun Head of Art), and Emily Pethick (Director of the Rijksakademie Beeldende Kunsten) to foster in-depth dialogue on Asia’s growing influence in the global art landscape.
• Debut of the Thematic “Art Bus” City Tours: Taipei Art Week debuts its Art Bus, connecting the public with key cultural venues through themed routes that transform the city into a curated, cross-disciplinary art experience –blending arts into daily life.
• Asia in Conversation: A Tri-Regional Collector Exchange: Bringing together collectors from East Asia, Southeast Asia, and beyond, “The Collector Circle” will foster dialogue and regional synergy, positioning Taipei as a strategic hub in Asia’s art market.
• Public Art Revisited: Curating Urban Memory: Curated by Yu Chih Hsiao, Associate Professor of Architecture at Shih Chien University, the public art program highlights works by artists such as Yuyu Yang, while inviting audiences to rediscover how public art shapes daily life, urban space, and collective memory through varied forms and scales.

Claudia Chen Ching-Ying, Chairperson of the Taiwan Art Gallery Association noted "for over 30 years, the association has been dedicated to promoting the development of the art industry, advancing art education, and fostering international art exchanges. This year, ART TAIPEI and Taipei Art Week will focus on the theme 'Intersect: Diversity Equals Togetherness,' featuring a series of activities including special exhibitions, panel discussion, and forums that delve into the diverse aspects of contemporary art.
