Discoverer's fair
Art fairs are good for discoveries; but with its innovative exhibition concept, Art International Zurich also creates new approaches for the art fair of the future.

This trade fair concept of experience spaces has future potential and stands for the change in the exhibition industry.

The works of art at the art fair are as diverse and fascinating as the artists themselves, who are often personally present. The high halls give this fair a touch of museum, where visitors enter into an inner dialogue with the works of art.

A location with tradition
Zurich's international art fair was opened in 1999 in the Kongresshaus Zürich - in the banking district near Paradeplatz and the famous shopping mile Bahnhofstrasse. In 2017, due to the long-term renovation of the Kongresshaus, the exhibition moved to PULS 5, also close to the centre - a former foundry hall converted into an event arena in the middle of the bustling trendy district of Zurich West. Since then, the exhibition has taken place in the historic foundry hall of the PULS 5 building complex. Exciting industrial architecture in a large hall with abundant daylight provide the modern and atmospheric setting for Art International Zurich.

City of short distances
The Art International Zurich art fair takes place in Puls 5, an industrial monument near the city centre. It is one of the most important and established art marketplaces in Switzerland. With high standards and an international range of art, the fair has established itself as a public and trade fair in Zurich since 1999. ART INTERNATIONAL ZURICH has since developed into one of the most popular institutions on the Swiss art scene.

It is a three-minute walk from PULS 5 to Escher-Wyss-Platz, tram lines 4, 13 and 17 as well as bus lines 33 and 72 run nearby.
