Art Brussels 2011
The 29th edition of Art Brussels takes place from April 28th until May 1st. Art Brussels is the European platform for upcoming talents in the field of contemporary art and focuses as well on strong established galleries representing a selection of their highest-quality paintings, sculptures, photography, video and installations.
Art Brussels offers a choice of 170 galleries, nominated in accordance with a rigorous quality-based selection procedure. The international selection committee places particular emphasis on the work of young creatives in contemporary art. The fair has the most international profile of any other fair in Europe, with 80% of its participants coming from over 25 countries.
Art Brussels yearly attracts 30000 art enthusiasts, including a considerable number of art collectors, critics, journalists, curators and other decision makers; one in five visitors comes from outside Belgium. A VIP Privilege programme welcomes over 300 collectors from throughout the world, treating them to free overnight accommodation and a stimulating off-programme. Moreover, Belgium and Art Brussels itself represent a substantial number of significant art collectors. Compared to many other countries, the concentration of art collectors in Belgium is remarkable.
Art Brussels features also a series of events such as "Art in the City" outdoor sculpture exhibition, artist projects and solo shows, artist talks and debates as well as museum and private collections visits.
