BRAFA 2025 will be hosted as a live exhibition between January 26th and February 2nd, 2025, 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.

Hi, My name is Phillip from the Medit Company. We have been long working with Travel2Fairs Company for Hotels&Meeting rooms and Megan was always willing to assist us. We had gone through lots of changes in schedules and number of rooms and sometimes I felt sorry for Megan for requesting many times but she always tried hard to meet our needs. Also, Travel2Fairs deals with the customer's request in a very prompt timely manner. I always appreciate your service Megan from the bottom of my heart. I hope you have a great day and would love to do business with you in the near future. Thank you!
we used this service for 3 years in a row and it has always been great, effective and fast: we have been allowed to change some names of the guests and to book further rooms without any delay.
The hotel selected had a great position near to the station stop and just 15 minutes by train from the Fair. The rooms were cute and cleaned and the personnel at the desk well prepared and quick.
We are very happy and satisfied.
Excellent service from the team. I would highly recommend their services
Dear Christine,

Hi,
The average opinion of our people was: The rooms were really o.k., good bed, enough space etc., and there was an easy access to the public transportation. What they did not like was the poor breakfast. Further two of them noticed empty bottles on the room at their arrival, that have not been removed during their whole stay. That's no good room service.
Dear Nick,
I'm sorry I could not answer the phone. I was not in business last week, so I'm in a big crowd.
He wants to thank you again for your accommodation.
In Frankfurt, we were very nice. The hotel is close to the fairground and the city center. Rooms are very nice, clean and neat.
Frankfurt is arranged. I hope we stay in touch, and maybe we will be back together with the accommodation
Great regards, Amela
Dear Tom

I will contact you again next year
