FIAC, or the Paris International Art Fair, is an annual event that was founded in 1974. This event was created to bring together both modern and contemporary art galleries.

The event was founded in Paris and showcases about 200 exhibitors in the famed Grand Palais. The exhibitors include some of the most influential experts in design, contemporary art, and modern art in the world.
