Foire Internationale d'Art Contemporain

The Paris International Contemporary Art Fair (Foire Internationale d’Art Contemporain or FIAC) is a contemporary art event that occurs in Paris.

It was usually held in October in the Grand Palais.[1] In 2022, Art Basel surprisingly evinced FIAC from the Grand Palais.[2]
