ART.Cy Exhibition 2026 Concludes with Strong Attendance and Market Engagement

ART.Cy 2026 took place on 14–15 March at the Amara Hotel, welcoming approximately 3,500 visitors over the two-day weekend. The 2026 edition featured more than 35 artists alongside 8 galleries, presenting a wide spectrum of contemporary work spanning painting, sculpture, and mixed media.

A parallel programme of curated masterclasses and discussions provided additional depth, addressing artistic processes, market perspectives, and the broader intersection between culture, society, and economic development.

Engagement throughout the exhibition was busy. The event attracted collectors, professionals, and a wider audience, resulting in significant art sales at the event as well as afterwards, and the formation of new collaborations.

What distinguishes ART.Cy from many other events is a deliberate structural choice: we prioritise direct communication with and between artists, minimising the filters of commercial, institutional, or intermediary agendas.

This creates a more transparent and immediate exchange of ideas, intent, and talent. By doing so, ART.Cy shifts the centre of gravity back to the artist and the work itself, rather than the layers around it.

We believe this is the most effective way to genuinely strengthen and elevate the role of art and culture in Cyprus, giving visibility to authentic voices, enabling meaningful connections, and allowing talent to emerge and be recognised on its own terms.

ART.Cy extends its sincere thanks to all contributors and supporters who played a role in the delivery of the exhibition. Special recognition is given to Vestnik Kipra and the Successful Business Club, as well as to Pambos and Cleopatra Solomonides for their guidance and support.

The team at the Amara Hotel, under the leadership of Lydia Meliniotis, provided exceptional operational support. We also thank the Mayor of Limassol, Yiannis Armeftis, for his presence and continued encouragement.

After our flagship event, our next activities include a resumption of field trips as well as support for a variety of exhibitions and cultural projects across Cyprus.
