Astoria Artshow: New art fair in Vienna

From 10 to 13 September 2026, the Astoria Artshow will open its doors in the historic Astoria Garage in Vienna’s 8th district. This new format serves as a preview edition of an independent Vienna art fair that is set to become an annual event from 2027 onwards. The Astoria Artshow is organised by VAU – Vienna Art United, an association of 35 leading Vienna-based galleries.

Around 70 Austrian and international galleries will present contemporary art, ranging from established artists to emerging and experimental positions. The exhibition takes place across the open, loft-style spaces of the listed Astoria Garage, an extraordinary architectural landmark dating back to 1923.

A distinctive feature of the event is its solidarity-based participation model: participation fees are determined by the economic size of the galleries rather than the size of their exhibition space. This approach aims to ensure fair and sustainable participation for galleries of different capacities.

The event is supported by the Vienna Business Agency.

Admission: €15 | Reduced rate: €7.50 | Free admission for students. The ticket is valid for all four days of the event.
