About C.A.R. - contemporary art ruhr - Media Art Forum and Fair

The art fair contemporary art ruhr (C.A.R.) wants to establish a strong regional art market for the Ruhr and its more than 5.3 million residents. Ever since its founding, C.A.R. has consistently re-invented itself, with new partners and participants joining every year, e. g. including the Los Angeles Art Association as well as new participants from other European countries to make the fair more international.

The concept is designed to bring high-quality artists and movers and shakers of the art scene together in one place in order to highlight and enhance the attractiveness and uniqueness of this new art location.

Anyone abroard now can establish themselves, attract new customers and become a part of a new region for contemporary art.

One of the main objectives of C.A.R. 2011 is to offer their participants a pulsating platform and more chances for networking beyound the fast moving art fair sector!

After the successful participation as a cooperation project and official part of the programme of the European Capital of Culture RUHR.2010 and the biggest art fair in the area we organize in 2011 and in 2012 only for participants of C.A.R. and additional to the two art fairs several exhibitions or events in Los Angeles or Miami Beach. Moreover, futher events are planned as like in Paris and Berlin.
