The fair was founded in 1968 by the Association of Galleries based in Brussels and carried the name “Foire d’Art Actuel / Actuele Kunstmarkt”. In the beginning, the event was biennial, local and organised in various smaller venues all over Belgium. Princess Paola visited the fair several times. As from 1997, when Artexis (now named Easyfairs) took over the fair, it became Art Brussels, a yearly not to be missed rendez-vous for the entire international art community, organised at Brussels Expo. From 2016 till 2022, Art Brussels has been held at Tour & Taxis. In 2023, Art Brussels moved back to Brussels Expo, in the most emblematic halls of the venue.  

Art Brussels is deeply grateful for the ongoing support from the expansive community of art enthusiasts across Europe. The success of Art Brussels is underpinned by Belgium’s reputation of having the highest number of art collectors per capita globally, fostering a dynamic artistic landscape with top-quality galleries and artists supported by a large amount of art lovers.
