Art Revolution Taipei breaks the convention of traditional art fairs, which tend to focus on the galleries, by instead prioritizing the artist and allowing the creators to be highlighted. Under the careful planning and directing of Art Director, Professor Lee Sun-Don, the entire concept and visual design of the space has been reimagined to center on the artist and their artworks. Each booth becomes the artist’s solo exhibition for them to display their own unique interpretations. Since the inaugural Art Revolution in Taipei in 2011, ART has been consistently recognized as one of the most significant art fairs of all time. With a promising 89.66% of completed sales transactions, each year has had final sales over 80% to 90%. After more than a decade of hard work, Art Revolution Taipei has become the prominent art event in Asia.
 

Even at the peak of COVID-19 where many activities have been suspended, Art Revolution Taipei recognized how important, and healing, art could be to the world. Through its unwavering commitment and passion for art, Art Revolution Taipei continues to deliver stunning visual feasts to everyone.
