October Global Art Exhibitions Showcase Diverse Immersive Experiences

October 2025 features a vibrant array of art exhibitions and fairs across the globe, highlighting both historical retrospectives and contemporary innovations. Paris hosts "Virgil Abloh: The Codes," a major exhibition showcasing nearly two decades of the late designer's multidisciplinary work, while Hong Kong's M+ presents "Dream Rooms," and Switzerland debuts "Ghosts: On the Trail of the Supernatural." London becomes a central hub during "Frieze Week," with exhibitions such as Kerry James Marshall's powerful portrayal of African American life at the Royal Academy of Arts, and multiple fairs including The Other Art Fair, Frieze London, Frieze Masters, PAD London, and the Affordable Art Fair, drawing international galleries and diverse artistic expressions. Complementing these are intimate showcases like Canopy Collections and Electric Kiln in London, alongside design collaborations such as Margo Selby's textile collection for Habitat. Meanwhile, the Elgin Fringe Festival offers immersive, interactive performances that engage audiences directly, marking a revival in live arts post-pandemic and emphasizing alternative, participatory art forms.
