Art3f Brussels

art3f Brussels is an international contemporary art fair held annually in autumn at the renowned Brussels Expo. Unlike many traditional art fairs, it does not place art theory at the center, but instead offers a vibrant, emotional platform for direct exchange between artists, galleries, collectors, and an art-interested public.

Organized by art3f, an experienced trade fair organizer with a strong presence across Europe, the Brussels edition is part of a broader international series with events in cities such as Paris, Luxembourg, and Zurich. In Brussels, the fair positions itself as a gateway to the European art scene, bringing together creative talent from Belgium and across the continent. Here, internationally established names meet emerging regional artists who showcase their works in painting, sculpture, and photography – up close, often without barriers, and frequently accompanied by live demonstrations at their booths.

The fair impresses with a unique blend of accessibility and quality. It is not only a meeting place for gallerists, collectors, and art professionals, but also explicitly invites art lovers without a formal background to engage and be inspired. Thanks to its open concept, the fair becomes a space for dialogue – where art is not just viewed but genuinely experienced.

A special highlight is the charity auction of selected works on the final day of the fair, with proceeds benefiting local artists’ associations. Visitors have the opportunity to actively support the local art scene through their participation. The overall fair experience is enhanced by a spacious on-site restaurant with live music, providing room for relaxation, encounters, and enjoyment – a social hub where the creative spirit of the event continues in a pleasant atmosphere.

Exhibitors represent the full spectrum of contemporary art – from established galleries and independent artists to art dealers. The audience includes not only collectors and professionals from interior design and cultural management but also a wide range of private individuals with a passion for art.

As a host city, Brussels lends the fair a distinctive international appeal. As the capital of Belgium and home to numerous European institutions, it offers both a central location and a culturally open-minded, diverse audience. The Brussels Expo, one of the largest and most modern exhibition venues in Europe, is easily accessible by both car and public transport – ideal for visitors from Belgium and abroad.

art3f Brussels is therefore much more than a traditional art fair – it is an emotional, cultural, and visual experience that makes contemporary art accessible and tangible for everyone.

The Art3f will take place on 3 days from Friday, 21. November to Sunday, 23. November 2025 in Brussels.
