Mauritius International Art Fair (MIAF) was inaugurated in 2019 under the visionary leadership of ZeeArts, with a strategic mission to position Mauritius as a premier destination for art and culture. Since its inception, MIAF has successfully hosted three distinguished editions, bringing together the global art community through dynamic exhibitions, curated artistic initiatives, and insightful conferences.
At its core, MIAF aspires to establish Mauritius as a prominent hub for art, culture, and creative tourism, while championing artistic diversity, cultural inclusivity, knowledge exchange, and the promotion of art as a sustainable investment avenue.
The forthcoming edition of MIAF is poised to attract over 2,000 distinguished guests, including artists, collectors, patrons, curators, gallerists, and cultural enthusiasts from Mauritius, the region, and across the globe. It offers a unique platform where artistic expression intersects with cultural richness, fostering meaningful dialogue, collaborative opportunities, and the vibrant exchange of ideas.
A signature component of the fair is its highly anticipated conference series, centered on the compelling theme: “Art as an Investment to Transform Our Ecosystem.” This flagship conference notably welcomed Christie’s to Mauritius for the first time, alongside internationally respected art collectors and cultural leaders — marking a significant milestone in the evolution of the island’s creative and cultural landscape.
Looking ahead, MIAF aligns with the Creative Mauritius Vision 2025, an ambitious national framework aimed at cultivating a society empowered by creativity, cultural engagement, and a deeper appreciation for the transformative potential of the arts.
In pursuit of this vision, ZeeArts is proud to introduce the Mauritius Art and Cultural Investment Summit, an annual international forum to be hosted under the MIAF umbrella. This summit will provide a dedicated platform for strategic dialogue, partnerships, and investment in the creative and cultural industries of Mauritius, the region, and Africa.
Furthermore, the summit seeks to encourage the exchange of best practices and innovative approaches within the creative industries, nurturing synergies among local, regional, and international stakeholders. All initiatives will be framed within the context of ESG-driven cultural development, contributing to sustainable growth and fostering a lasting cultural impact.
