Update
BRAFA 2027 will be hosted as a live exhibition between the 24th and 31st of January, 2027, at the Brussels Expo (Heysel).
Calling Card
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.
Business Potential
BRAFA continues to expand its list of galleries to showcase the very best from art and antiques. The names you should definitely learn are:
- Axel Vervoordt;
- N.Vrouyr;
- Thomas Deprez;
- MDZ Gallery;
- QG Gallery;
- Galerie Kraemer.
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.
Did You Know?
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.

Hi Tom,
FIE in Paris is just finished.Our stay in Marriott Hotel was good and we are start on thinking to next edition in Frankfurt.
I have seen the "Cotadines City Center Hotel" which is very closed to Messe and the price is not so high.
Can you send us an offer, considering the same number of rooms as done in Paris?
Waiting for your answer,
best regards

Dear Tom,
Thanks for your email.
PLMA 2025 has been a very successful fair for us. Also, we loved the hotel and the location. We'd like to book the same hotel for next year, sure!
Please send me the rate for 2026, and we'll let you know if it's acceptable for us.
Thank you in advance,
Best regards

Dear Christine,
The Novum Hotel Madison Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof was fine: good service, large rooms and bathrooms.
A bit old-fashioned and a 3 star hotel in my opinion rather than 4 stars.
Breakfast was fine.
Best regards

Hello Ellie,
Thank you for your e-mail. The cooperation with you and with your company was great. Especially work with you. I have to tell you a big thanks.
My colleagues was surprised how the hotel work. There was no problem with anything. Breakfast was really good.
And also the way to exhibitions was very quick.
And for the next year. We will exhibit in Paris, but the accommodation will prepare the CSG company – this is our „mother“ . MSM is member of CSG. this is not in my hends.
But Im sure that in the future I will work with you!!
Thank you one more time
S pozdravom

Hotel was good and all went okay with my trip.
Facilities were clean and staff was friendly.
Only issue was that its my first time in Munich and it was confusing for me to get to the hotel but that wont be the issue next year.

Mr Mauro Piovesan
Dear Tom,
thank you for your email. The hotel was quite good but the service was not honestly professional, staff was not so friendly and the rooms were a bit poor. We had to change the personal code (to use elevators, enter in the room, parking etc..) 3 times as we had 3 reservations/each. Sometimes my colleague found the room not clean and in the same condition as in the morning.
However the location was good and my general feedback is positive. I thank you very much for your support, you are really professional and quick in replying.
Thank you again for your cooperation,
Best regards

Dear George,
Thanks you for your email.
We had a great experience at the B&B Hotel Geneva Airport.
I thank you for Vitafoods 2025 but first we have other priorities.
Therefore, I’ll contact you in the next months.
Best Regards,

Dear Tom,
Thank you for your support and professionalism.
Now, about the Hotel: This hotel was in a great location, very close to the main train station but it's so far to fairgound (1h in train and walk +/-).
Our rooms was in 4th floor and the elevator only go to 3rd floor. For to go at 4th floor, only have a stairs. It's only a small points that we don't like.
Thank you for all
