5th Edition of COLLECTIBLE – the fair for 21st-century design-  is a one of a kind platform for the showcase and discovery of the best in collectible design today.

The Brafa Art Fair, created in 1956, is one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious art fairs, famous for the high quality fine art, antiques, modern and contemporary art and design it offers. Brafa stretches on 8 days and takes place this year from Sunday 19 to Sunday 26 June 2022.  Brafa is located in Brussels Expo, a grand site on the Heysel plateau that is a prestigious legacy of the Brussels Universal Exhibitions of 1935 and 1958. Its most famous landmark monument is undoubtedly the Atomium, the symbol of the Exposition 58. The cosmopolitan capital of Europe is known for its excellent food and dazzling array of museums, monuments and boutique shops.

BRAFA, or the Brussels Art Fair, is one of the longest-running art and antiques fairs in the world and is organised every year by the non-profit Belgian Antiques Fair Association.

BRAFA has also brought the BRAFA Art Tours and BRAFA Art Talks to the attention of an ever more numerous and regular audience, to deepen its knowledge of art and to promote the discovery of various artists and cultural themes. Today, more than 68,000 enthusiastic visitors flock to the aisles of BRAFA: art lovers, collectors, directors of major museums, patrons of Belgian and foreign museums, members of cultural and economic circles… Its longevity and success are also due to the loyal sponsorship of Delen Private Bank.

The fair will henceforth be held at Brussels Expo on the Heysel plateau, to the north of the Belgian capital. Brussels Expo is an exhibition venue specifically designed to host various international fairs and events. Known for its prestigious past, the infrastructure of its exhibition halls is a legacy of the Universal Exhibitions in Brussels in 1935 and 1958, whose landmark monument is undoubtedly the Atomium, a symbol of the Exposition 58.

BRAFA continues to cultivate its specificity. It is an eclectic fair on a human scale, in which to discover firm favourites, in the space of a few hours, in an elegant and friendly atmosphere. As it begins a new chapter in its history, it continues to relentlessly pursue its mission of offering an ever more qualitative international fair. Thanks to the rigorous selection of the participating galleries, exceptional works of art, and an impeccable organisation, BRAFA is an unmissable event for meetings and exchanges in Europe.

Since 2018, Brussels Gallery Weekend and its galleries support the young Brussels artists by hosting the show “Generation Brussels”. Organized by a different curator each year, the exhibition aims at highlighting young Brussels artists who have not yet been called by galleries. “Generation Brussels” brings together a range of artists living and working in Brussels, whether they are art school students, recent graduates, aspiring artists or those with a little more experience.
