Background
Ubud has long been recognized as one of Indonesia’s foremost centres of art and culture. For decades, the area has brought together artists, collectors, curators, and visitors drawn to the richness of Balinese art as well as the evolving practices of contemporary art.
Amid this vibrant and growing art ecosystem, there remains a need for a more intimate, open, and accessible space—one that can bring artists closer to the public while making art more approachable, allowing a wider audience not only to experience but also to own works of art.
Ubud Art Collect
Ubud Art Collect is a small-scale art market that brings together artists, galleries, studios, collectives, and creative practitioners in a warm, open, and welcoming environment. Rather than replicating the formal atmosphere of a large-scale art fair, Ubud Art Collect offers a more intimate experience—one that encourages direct conversations, personal connections, and meaningful exchanges between artists and the public.
Taking place over three days, the 1st Ubud Art Collect is more than a marketplace for art. It is a space to build connections, discover diverse artistic practices, deepen public appreciation of art, and support the continued growth of Ubud’s creative ecosystem and local creative economy.
Ubud Art Collect is a mini art market showcasing a diverse selection of works, including fine art, illustration, photography, printmaking, ceramics, crafts, textiles, art books, and collectible design objects.
With the spirit of “Collecting for Everyone,” Ubud Art Collect seeks to make art collecting feel more accessible, inclusive, and enjoyable—inviting everyone to discover, connect with, and bring home works they love.The event is not only for experienced collectors, but also welcomes those who are just beginning their journey into art collecting.
Collecting Starts Here
Collecting is not simply about owning a work of art. It is about connecting with the ideas, stories, processes, and artists behind each piece.
Ubud Art Collect invites everyone to discover that connection and begin their own journey as a collector.
