Since its start back in 1968, Art Brussels has remained at the forefront of the contemporary art scene, showcasing established artists, fostering emerging talents, and facilitating dynamic exchanges between artists, collectors, gallerists, and art enthusiasts.
Over the years the fair has earned a global reputation for its commitment to presenting cutting-edge contemporary art in diverse forms, from painting and sculpture to photography, installation, and new media.
The forthcoming edition of Art Brussels 2024 will have a selection of 178 galleries from 30 countries each bringing their unique artistic perspectives and contributions with a focus on innovation, diversity and inclusivity. The fair will present a curated programme of galleries divided into 5 sections, special artistic projects, and an outdoor sculpture exhibition, offering visitors an immersive experience of today's art scene.
Also this year, Art Brussels is delighted to announce the continued support of the two main partners, Delen Private Bank and Bank Van Breda.
The fair is also pleased to announce the support of Philippe Close, the city’s mayor, on behalf of the City of Brussels, who will be providing a new outdoor sculpture project, which is being organised by Art Brussels for the first time.
