art & style Dresden

art & style Dresden is a distinctive consumer and trade fair that brings together art, design, craftsmanship and lifestyle in a unique and inspiring setting. Positioned at the intersection of contemporary art, premium design and bespoke manufactured products, the event provides an engaging platform for visitors seeking originality, quality and individuality.

The fair takes place at MESSE DRESDEN, one of Saxony’s leading exhibition and event venues. It is organised by Messe Dresden GmbH, an experienced trade fair organiser that hosts numerous consumer and industry events across the region and has long been committed to strengthening Dresden’s position as a centre for exhibitions, conferences, business and culture.

At the heart of the event is a carefully curated selection of high-quality, individually crafted products spanning designer furniture, home accessories, fashion, jewellery, art, illustration, contemporary craft, and lifestyle and gourmet offerings. Visitors can explore stylish interior solutions, exclusive decorative pieces, handcrafted jewellery, independent fashion labels, original artworks, prints and illustrations, as well as products created by small-scale manufacturers and artisan workshops. The range is complemented by selected lifestyle brands, unique gift ideas and premium food and drink products, many of which can be purchased directly from the producers.

A defining feature of art & style is its concept, which builds on the legacy of the highly regarded room+style exhibition formerly held in Dresden. By bringing together a wide range of creative disciplines under one roof, the event creates an atmosphere in which visitors can not only discover exceptional products but also engage directly with artists, designers and makers. This results in a highly personal and immersive experience that goes far beyond that of a traditional retail or art fair.

Exhibitors predominantly represent the fields of art, design, interior architecture, furniture design, jewellery design, fashion, contemporary craft, manufacturing, lifestyle products and gourmet specialities. Many of the items on display are handcrafted and distinguished by their quality, individuality and sustainable production methods.

The fair attracts a diverse audience that includes design and art enthusiasts, collectors, interior design aficionados, architects, interior architects, retailers, buyers, creative professionals and industry specialists from the worlds of art, design, craftsmanship and lifestyle. It is particularly aimed at visitors who appreciate authenticity, premium materials and exceptional design.

Art & style has a strong connection to Dresden’s cultural heritage. Renowned for centuries for its outstanding art collections, striking architecture and rich craft traditions, the city provides an ideal backdrop for the event. The fair embraces this cultural identity while offering a platform for contemporary creatives from across Germany and other European countries, thereby helping to raise the profile of Saxony’s creative industries both nationally and internationally.

Among the event’s highlights are the opportunity to meet exhibitors in person, purchase unique pieces and limited-production collections directly from their creators, and experience the inspiring fusion of art, design and lifestyle in a sophisticated setting. The focus lies less on traditional gallery art and more on a holistic lifestyle concept. Special exhibitions, themed presentation areas and creative installations further enhance the visitor experience.

MESSE DRESDEN provides the ideal setting for the event. Located close to Dresden’s city centre, the modern exhibition grounds combine historic industrial architecture with contemporary event infrastructure. The venue is easily accessible by public transport, via nearby motorways, and from both Dresden Central Station and Dresden Airport. As such, MESSE DRESDEN offers the perfect environment for an event that brings together art, design and lifestyle in a truly inspiring way.

The first edition and therefore the premiere of the art & style takes place on 2 days from Sat., 26.09.2026 to Sun., 27.09.2026 in Dresden.
