"Artbrussels" is a contemporary art fair happening every year in Belgium. I was there for the 27th edition and made a little photo report that you can view on my blog: [link]

Considering the huge amount of artworks that were exhibited, this represents only a little insight of what I saw. For more information on the exhibitors and artists, please visit Artbrussels' official site: [link]

Every year in April, Artbrussels opens its doors and welcomes more than 30 000 professionals, collectors and art lovers from all over the world. Artbrussels is the European platform for upcoming talents in the field of contemporary art and focuses as well on strong established galleries representing a selection of their highest-quality paintings, sculptures, photography, video and installations.

Artbrussels attracts art enthusiasts, including a considerable number of art collectors, critics, journalists, curators and other decision makers; one in five visitors comes from outside Belgium. A VIP Privilege programme welcomes over 300 collectors from throughout the world, treating them to free overnight accommodation and a stimulating off-programme.

Artbrussels offers a strong selection of 172 galleries, nominated in accordance with a rigorous quality-based selection procedure. The international selection committee places particular emphasis on the work of young creatives in contemporary art. The fair has a most international profile, with 80% of its participants coming from over 20 countries.

The major part of the fair is dedicated to numerous established art galleries with both international profiles and programmes.
