From 12 to 16 November 2026, the Royal University of Fine Arts (RUFA) in Phnom Penh hosts the first edition of Phnom Penh Contemporary. Around fifteen Cambodian and Cambodia-connected artists will exhibit. The first days are reserved for collectors and embassies, a silent auction runs alongside, and a dedicated space is given to Indigenous sacred art. The event overlaps with the Francophonie Summit.

At the Royal University of Fine Arts (RUFA) in Phnom Penh, art and faith came together this week as students, faculty and staff held a solemn prayer event dedicated to Cambodian soldiers standing firm on a volatile border.
