BRAFA 2024 will be hosted as a live exhibition between January 28th and February 4th, 2024, at the Brussels Expo (Heysel). The event will be held without coronavirus precautions. This is due to the country repealing its coronavirus restrictions.
BRAFA has been a key meeting point for the art world in Belgium ever since its birth almost 70 years ago. The annual art fair creates the necessary conditions for gallerists, collectors, and curators to meet, appraise, educate and buy art pieces. BRAFA occurs annually at Brussels Expo and showcases fine art, antiques, and contemporary art for eight days. Previously, the art fair opened the year in January, but now organisers have decided to move it to a slot in mid-June. BRAFA has always been a barometer for the art market. You can see trends form in how collectors and other buyers react from year to year. It’s important to note that every single piece at BRAFA has been appraised and verified.
BRAFA continues to expand its list of galleries to showcase the very best from art and antiques. The names you should definitely learn are:
They contribute to the wide variety of art objects, which span human history since the Bronze Age. There are currently 20 categories at the art fair. These include classical archeology, tribal artistry, pre-Colombian artwork, Asian artistic creations, jewelry, and silverware. They also feature coinages, furnishing, and art items ranging from the Middle Ages to today. Among them are old and modern-day paintings, contemporary artwork, sculpture, ceramic wares, contemporaneous glass and earthenware, carpetings and fabrics, drawings, original cartoons, etchings, rare publications, photography, and writings. The galleries come from the Italian Republic, Japan, the UAE, and the United States.
Each year, BRAFA invites a guest of honour. Sometimes this can be a respected art institution. Other times it’s a remarkable artist who has left their mark in the art world. In the upcoming edition, the Guest of Honour is Belgian-born Arne Quinze, who first broke into the art world with his graffiti work and has since moved to wooden constructions and other installations. Buyers and art lovers can get the most out of the rich assortment of artworks and antiques by taking part in one of the many Art Tours held during the fair. Another highlight is the line-up of BRAFA ART TALKS – a series of conversations and lectures on modern artists such as Keith Haring and historical periods.

Is was good, thank you for booking Intercity hotel to us.
Very good service and follow prior Hotel Check in. We highly recommend this agency.
Hello, Thanks to travel2fair company, we could manage our accomodation in Florence, a city we had no prior knowledge about. The hotel was great, the staff was helpful. The view and the location of the hotel was amazing. Also travel2fair staff was also very careful and helpful. They kept checking on us prior to our trip and after the trip to see if we have/had any problem. I am so satisfied with the service I got.
This this first time we work with this agency and we are 100% happy.
Ms. Christine Clark is wonderfull person, she implemented all our glimpses.
Thank You so much!
Very pleased with your help. All went very well. Nice and clean hotel.

Morning Tom,
Hein is back in the office after a very successful business trip. He was very pleased with the hotel and has asked I must keep the name for his next trip to the IWA show in 2018. Once again thanks for your help and friendliness with the booking of the accommodation.
Dear Megan,
I hope everything was going well and the accommodation for CPHI!
I have positive feedback from my colleagues about the hotel! No negative comments, which is very nice for a budget hotel.
Thank you in advance for your kind cooperation during all the time!
Have a nice weekend,
Hrisa
Dear Megan,
Thank you, it went very well. Hotel was nice and I liked the location very much. Would have been nice with a chair and maybe a small desk in the room, but no biggie.
I will probably buy via our cruise network next time, I usually do, so not relevant.
Med venlig hilsen/best regards
Torsten Engsig
Dear Tracy,
