Shanghai's annual art season is back. The 13th West Bund Art & Design runs November 10–15, bringing together more than 150 galleries and exhibitors from 45 cities and regions across four venues along the Huangpu River. International names like Hauser & Wirth, White Cube, Perrotin and Galleria Continua return, alongside local galleries including ShanghART and BANK. There are also 22 first-time exhibitors, with new faces from Seoul, Paris, Auckland and beyond.
The main action is at West Bund International Convention and Exhibition Center, where most of the galleries are based. Head to West Bund Art Center for collectible design, large-scale installations and the Perspective section, while GATE M's Dream Factory focuses on moving-image art. West Bund ORBIT, meanwhile, hosts a public art installation by the river.
A little route planning goes a long way here. The first three venues are relatively close, but ORBIT is about three kilometers away, so feel free to skip it if time is tight. Public days run November 12–15, from 12pm to 6pm (last entry at 5:30pm), while Dream Factory opens at 10am. Tickets are 200rmb per visit and available via the West Bund Life mini program.
