As time flies by, Mango Art Festival 2026 had happened on March 4-8. The art fair let us witness the changes in the Thai art market as well as the gradual development of the art fair itself.
The first thing to be recognized is the absence of art toys, although not entirely, depends on how you define what they are. This could either mean the trend has ended, or they are not quite fitted in an art fair.
Another thing is that, this time, there are many recognizable faces, both artists and curators who have been around for quite some time, particularly in the curated section. There are also some sizable artworks. This shows how the goal of becoming more than a trading event has started to take serious root and is going in a promising direction.
Like any art fairs with the main goal of selling and buying artworks, painting, sculpture, and print remain the dominant categories, as they are highly collectible. But what matters is the quality of the artworks and the consistency of the artist in developing their practice and career. Likely, this is how we differentiate those who only pass by and those who stay.
