Art3f Kortrijk

The art3f Kortrijk is an annual contemporary art fair that caters to both industry professionals and the general public. Since its debut in 2023, it has established itself in Kortrijk as an inspiring platform that appeals to art lovers, collectors, families, and members of the art community alike. Organized by art3f, a seasoned host of international art fairs with events in France, Luxembourg, and Switzerland, the fair brings the diversity of European contemporary art to the Flemish city, creating a vibrant space for dialogue and exchange.

The event takes place at the modern Kortrijk Xpo exhibition center, which offers ideal conditions with its central location and spacious display areas. Here, international artists, established galleries, and regional exhibitors showcase contemporary art in various forms—ranging from painting and sculpture to photography and ceramics. One of the fair’s key features is the opportunity for direct interaction: visitors can engage with the artists, learn about their techniques and inspirations, and gain a deeper understanding of the works on display.

A central mission of the fair is to support emerging talent. Young artists are given the chance to present their work to an art-savvy audience and connect with experienced collectors. art3f Kortrijk promotes an inclusive approach to art—aiming to make it accessible to all. As such, artworks are offered across a range of price points, making it possible for newcomers to begin their journey into collecting.

The fair stands out for its unique atmosphere. In a spacious restaurant area with a terrace, visitors can enjoy culinary offerings accompanied by live music, enhancing the overall cultural experience. art3f Kortrijk positions itself as a place of connection—not only between art and its audience, but also between generations. A family-friendly program invites younger visitors to participate and explore.

A special highlight is the art auction held on the final day of the fair. Selected works are auctioned off, with proceeds benefiting local artist associations—reflecting the fair’s strong ties to the regional art scene.

With its blend of international art, meaningful interaction, culinary enjoyment, and open, welcoming concept, art3f Kortrijk has established itself as a distinctive art fair. It offers valuable inspiration to collectors and galleries and presents contemporary art in a way that is engaging, accessible, and memorable.

The Art3f will take place on 3 days from Friday, 08. May to Sunday, 10. May 2026 in Kortrijk.
