Preface
The European Fine Art Fair or TEFAF is the world’s leading fine art fair. Annually, the event has two editions. The first occurs in Maastricht, Netherlands, while the second is in New York, USA. The Maastricht edition extends over 7 millennia of art history. The TEFAF art fair displays artworks in every fine art category. This includes antiques, Old Masters, contemporary paintings and others. Each artwork displayed at the event has undergone a stringent vetting process. The fair is among Maastricht’s leading ones. The fair takes place at the city’s premier venue, the MECC.
The TEFAF fair attracts many art & antique specialists. Such include artists looking for inspiration or to gain recognition, and art lovers. It also features connoisseurs and specialists from institutes of fine art. The Maastricht TEFAF attracts more than 280 exhibitors and around 74 000 visitants. Attendees represent over 20 countries, including Japan, China, France, Italy, Brazil, Spain, the UK, and the USA.
About TEFAF
TEFAF is a leading global fine art and antiques event with several goals. These include expanding the art knowledge of its attendees. Maastricht TEFAF also helps artists and dealers by providing an opportunity to gain recognition. It is also a platform for the purchasing of fine works of art.
The fair has a diverse program that it uses to achieve its goals. This includes the TEFAF Program, which features diverse lecture sessions. These allow networking with leading specialists in the global art community. Examples feature pre-eminent museum, art and antique professionals such as curators. During the sessions, the curators reveal important information. This includes essential industry insights, experiences, trends, or inspiration.
Besides the Program, the fair provides two other means of expanding knowledge. Such include the TEFAF Talks, which consist of hand-selected conversations. The other means is the Meet the Experts section. It allows attendees to listen to recorded narratives about selected masterpieces. There are also the TEFAF Fair tours. Said tours guide listeners through the 7 millenniums of art history. Attendees can also look forward to the Art Market Report.

Dear Mark, Sorry to reply this late! I have just got back to Taiwan after this long business trip – the K was very successful and thank you for asking. I would love to take a while to give you mine, and my Teammates’ feedback about the accommodation. Overall impression: Very good value for money! Pros: 1. Great location – it took 2 minutes to walk to the metro station and then 20 more minutes on the train to get to the fair. 2. Lots of restaurants and shops around – very convenient! 3. Rooms were big and clean, and we had plenty of space for our suitcases. 4. Comfortable beds, central heating and big bathrooms. 5. We will definitely consider it for the next K! it fulfilled most of our requirements! Having said all that I know you would like to know about the cons. I do not try to attack you, as you don’t run the hotel, but for your reference and future customers you should be aware of the down side of the hotel; 1. There was no internet connection in the rooms – I think it was the biggest problem for us, as we had to receive emails and work in the lobby – the only place with the internet connection. You must know that the lobby was in a different building across the street! So this was not what I had in mind when ordering the rooms – Wi-Fi connection in the room is the most important thing when searching hotels for myself and my Team. The lobby was also a bar and a restaurant at the same time so it was inconvenient for us and other patrons to work there. The staff of the hotel did nothing upon my request to fix the connection in at least some of our rooms. 2. Great location – unfortunately it comes with a price – the area was busy and loud every night and for the whole night, the windows didn’t block all of the noise of breaking glass and drunken singing. As I said at the beginning it was good value for money, and we would still chose this one! Knowing it was loud and there was no internet would not stop us from ordering it, but it would give us heads up and chance to mentally prepare. I hope my feedback was helpful and you will communicate with the hotel the need for Wi-Fi.
Thank you! Best Regards, Emma TRACZ Regional Manager
