Modern diversity

The Modern and Contemporary Art Festival, or MoCAF, opened its doors with a vernissage and welcomed artists, collectors, curators and cultural figures in a celebration that excitedly introduced new programs and remains inclusive to the community.

This year’s MoCAF brought together over 200 artists, 50 local and international galleries, 30 artisans, and 16 concessionaires offering a first look of the diverse standout works, from striking contemporary installations to handcrafted artisanal pieces, all underscoring the festival’s mission fostering accessibility to the art scene. “We want to offer emerging artists visibility, but beyond that, we want to give them access: to collectors, to curators, to critical conversations, and to a broader public who might be encountering their work for the first time,” said MoCAF director Coleen Wong

MoCAF 2025 largest edition was a weekend of meaningful encounters between artist and viewer, tradition and innovation, past and future.
