RAD ART FAIR

This Sammy Loren article for Cultured Mag is burning its way across the world with friends sending us excerpts from their mailboxes in New York, Paris and Hong Kong. Here, a few bits, link in bio for full feature. @cultured_mag @sjlorenn 💙

We are delighted to announce the participating exhibitors and first highlights of RAD Art Fair Bucharest, taking place from April 23 to 26, 2026, at CARO Bucharest. As the Romanian contemporary art scene burgeons, RAD continues its growth. Welcoming 31 exhibiting galleries—over 80% of which hail from six Romanian cities—this edition signals an expanding ecosystem shaped by curiosity, rigor, and new voices. We’re especially pleased to witness the upward movement within the fair as three galleries step from PLATFORM to the GALLERIES main sector—Gloriæ, Lutnița, and SOLO—making room for three emerging spaces to join PLATFORM for the first time and benefit from the section’s subsidy and mentorship program for young galleries. These shifts matter to us as they speak of continuity and shared responsibility. We are also thrilled to welcome seven galleries joining RAD for the first time, including industry leaders Einspach & Czapolai from Budapest; trendsetting Tabula Rasa, joining us from Beijing and London; and S.L.S.R.L., whose doors first opened in Bucharest this month—reinforcing RAD’s commitment to supporting the local scene while being part of the international conversation. @418gallery , @atelier35.bucharest , @biju.gallery , @einspachczapolaifineart , @etaj_artistrunspace , @galeria15design , @gaep.gallery , @gloriae.artgallery , @hartgalleryro , @himera.ro , @ivangallery , @jecza_gallery , @laborna_gallery , @galerialutnita , @non.artspace , @pharmakon_gallery , @gregorpodnar , @ancapoterasu.gallery , @galeria_posibila , @galeriaplanb , @relicvar , @sabot_gallery , @sacbucharest , @solo.projectspace , @sandwich.gallery , @sector1gallery , @s.l.s.r.l , @suprainfinitgallery , @catincatabacaru , @tabularasa_gallery #RADArtFair #RAD2026 #RADCommunity #RADGalleriesAnnounced #RomanianArtDealers

A few more days left to experience the sculptures at RAD Sculpture Park 2026 Still open until May 15 at Caro Hotel.

EVA Foundation opened its doors to you this spring—inviting artists, art lovers, friends, and the local community to rediscover groundbreaking art made by women. Thank you to everyone who attended our open house in collaboration with @rad.fair , which featured a guided tour through the galleries and light refreshments in the garden. Book your tour to see our collection yourself at: evafoundation.art

THE 4th EDITION of RAD Art Fair What a ride! Radical Love. Radical Creativity. Radical Domesticity. Radical Thoughts. Radical 2026. We are so deeply thankful for this community. Without your energy, your focus, your thoughts and ideas, and let’s not forget, your dancing shoes, we would not be basking in this afterglow. The 4th Edition of RAD brought many elements of growth. It marked our biggest audience yet, touching 10,000 visitors. Our largest and most diverse Curatorial Summit brought 34 curators from 23 countries to Bucharest for an intense 5-day program. Romania’s top collectors were joined by 60+ international collectors who spent their days at the fair, while also experiencing the city, visiting gallery exhibitions, and partaking in the diverse offerings of our most expansive Collateral Events program yet, built by private collections, new foundations, and institutions. RAD’s 31 galleries—a 10% growth from last year—realized €900,000+ in sales. In a time when the world is in upheaval and the global art market is felling insecure, these numbers reflect a growing local scene, at-home support and patronage for the arts, and RAD becoming a fresh platform bourgeoning in scale, depth, and relevance.

Se întâmplă, uneori, să tratăm timpul liber sau pasiunile, tot ca pe o urgență. În loc să încetinim, să lăsăm timp privirii să se aşeze. Oricum, din sertarele minții vor ieși nenumărate asocieri care au punct de plecare o torsiune, o strălucire sau o finețe nemaipomenită a profilului. Sculpturile din @rad.fair , aflate la @carohotel.ro , închid acest capitol din 2026 pe 15 mai, astfel că până vineri poți să-ți pui în calendar o vizită. Sculpturi amintite în acest clip: Reflections de Raul Bratu Regina şi Soprana de Ovidiu Toader Drunkenness de Bogdan Rața Fără Semnal de Iulian Cristea Dyade 06 de Jorinde Voigt The Emperor de Mihai Grecu 💫💫💫 Co-curatoriat de Alex Radu @storytelling_exhibitions & Anne Marie Lolea @annelolea împreună cu Justin Baroncea, Maria Ghement @maria.ghement , Alexandra Muller @alxmuller (Sculpture park design).

Fragments from RAD DESIGN 2026, an exhibition exploring Radical Domesticity through collectible design, bringing together a wide range of practices, from experimental and speculative positions to approaches rooted in material research, technique, and use.

Elisabetta Pagella for @exibart takes a look at RAD Art Fair and Bucharest’s growing contemporary art scene. Having an outside eye describe not only the fair itself, but also the wider ecosystem of artists, galleries, and initiatives shaping Bucharest is a privilege for all, and seeing these conversations resonate beyond borders means a great deal to us. Thank you @elisabettapagella . We hope to see everyone back in Bucharest soon! Read the full article via the link in bio.

The greatest reunion of the Rad Curatorial team in Venice from @rad.fair in 2025. Still some of the friends are missing on the photos but we were close again. And also I caught one of the new members of our team Giulia! #radcuratorial #radcuratorial2025 #bucharest #radinvenice #venicebiennale2026
