ANTWERP.- Art Brussels launches the second edition of Art Antwerp, with 68 participants from 11 different countries presenting 12 solo and 8 duo shows, as well as a mix of almost 300 newly emerging and established artists. With a strong international programme, 15 of these 68 galleries are based in Antwerp, and half of the galleries come from abroad, keeping the DNA of the fair international as well as strongly locally rooted. Art Antwerp is set to be an ambitious small-sized contemporary art fair and a new major player in the city of Antwerp known for its creativity and avant- gardism.

Art Antwerp is proud to announce that the fair can count on the collaboration with two new main partners, Delen Private Bank and Bank Van Breda. Both banking institutions will also jointly act as main sponsors of Art Brussels.

Participating galleries are invited by the hosting committee based on the gallery's profile. This year again there will be no sections – on the floor plan you will discover younger galleries next to more established ones. The smaller scale of the fair allows for a larger and clearer overview of the participating galleries and contributes to a welcoming and intimate atmosphere. Organised by the Art Brussels team, the standards of the fair are guaranteed to be of high quality.
