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 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
