Art Brussels is a leading contemporary art fair in Europe, known for its strong focus on artistic discovery and its influential role within the international art market. Founded in 1968 and held annually at Brussels Expo, the fair brings together prominent contemporary art galleries from around the world alongside emerging and mid-career spaces. Positioned at the heart of Belgium’s vibrant collecting community, Art Brussels offers collectors, curators, and art professionals an important platform to engage with new and established contemporary artists.
The fair is organised into curated sections such as Prime, Solo, Discovery, and ’68 Forward, each highlighting different generations and approaches to contemporary art. These sections feature solo presentations, thematic exhibitions, and ambitious gallery projects, allowing visitors to explore new artistic practices, experimental work, and museum-quality pieces. Art Brussels is particularly recognised for supporting emerging artists and introducing younger galleries to an international audience.
With its balance of established galleries and emerging talent, Art Brussels plays a key role in shaping contemporary art trends. Its strategic location in Brussels—a major European cultural hub—combined with its reputation for quality and innovation, makes the fair an essential destination for collectors and professionals seeking insight into the global contemporary art scene.
