Enjoying the Annual Art Brussels Fair

Art Brussels is a major event which welcomes 30,000 plus visitors and exhibitors each year. The show has been running since 1982 and is firmly established on the international arts calendar, something which the high visitor numbers and the competition to exhibit at the show represents. Art Brussels is held in the Brussels Expo centre in the centre of the city, and therefore there are good links to the show and plenty of hotels in the area as well as resources to take advantage of.

There are two main focuses of the fair, with the first being to showcase work from up and coming contemporary artists and giving them the opportunity to showcase their work to a large range of buyers art collectors and art lovers. The second focus, and arguably the main draw, is the opportunity to explore the works of many famous International artists, and with the focus shifting to different artists each year it is fair to say that no two shows are ever the same. Incredibly, there is generally work from around 170 different artists on display, all of whom have been subject to stringent qualification criteria which ensure that the show maintains the high quality on which it sells itself in order to retain its reputation.

A visit to Art Brussels is certainly quite different to visiting a standard art museum. There is much more of a buzz around the event, which is created by the modern decor and well spaced out displays which are conducive to the mixing of guest and artist and provides a perfect platform for one to gain an around view of each display. The wall contains are full of intriguing art work, whilst more contemporary 360 degree fill the space in the middle.

For those who visit the show regularly, a visit to the first show section will be of particular interest as it is here where you will find much of the work which is being displayed at the event for the first time. As is to be expected from a contemporary art fair, a great deal of the works on display will stretch your imagination, but with so much competition at the show to grab the attention of the buyers it is no surprise that people really push comprehension to the limits in an attempt to stand out. The outdoor sculpture exhibition may be of particular interest to those who are inexperienced with art and prefer to look at works that they may be able to relate to more.
