ART Rotterdam

The ART Rotterdam is one of the most prestigious fairs for contemporary art in Europe, held annually and gaining continuous significance since its inception in 2000. Organized by Art Rotterdam BV, this fair serves as a significant showcase for current trends and developments in the contemporary art scene. It provides both national and international galleries a platform to present their most exciting and innovative artworks to a broad audience.

A central aspect of ART Rotterdam is the promotion of new talents. This is particularly reflected in awards like the "NN Art Award", which honors outstanding achievements of artists.

The fair is characterized by its diversity in themes and focuses. It encompasses a wide range of contemporary artworks, from paintings and sculptures to digital art forms and performance art. Participants can learn about the latest developments in the art world, network, and gain valuable insights into the art scene.

Another highlight of ART Rotterdam is the venue itself. The fair takes place in the Van Nelle Factory, an iconic industrial monument and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Rotterdam. This unique location gives the event a special atmosphere and provides an exciting contrast to the contemporary art on display.

Overall, ART Rotterdam offers a comprehensive platform for art enthusiasts, collectors, gallery owners, and artists to discover and celebrate the latest currents and talents in contemporary art.
