Our sustainability pledge

– Our carpets are supplied by Rewind, whose products are 100% recyclable.

– In collaboration with GOFOREST we yearly plant 1 tree per participating gallery.

– We try to drastically reduce the use of plastic with multiple small efforts, such as reusable water bottles at the stands instead of plastic bottles, and real glasses for your champagne at the stand instead of plastic alternatives.

– Our catering by KTCHN is local, seasonal and homemade centered with the aim to reduce waste as much as possible.

– We reuse our walls and other construction material year after year.

– Students may visit the fair for free on Friday. On other days, people between 16 and 26 years old pay a reduced fee of 10€. Children under the age of 16 can visit the fair for free.

– We organise a free Kids Room by ABC & Combo during the weekend for our youngest visitors.

– From Friday to Sunday, 5 free guided fair visits per day are offered by our main partners.

– Thanks to our collaboration with Article 27, everyone living in social or economic difficulties can visit Art Brussels for free.

– We favour digital invitations. For our paper invitations, we use 100% recycled paper.

– We have a collaboration with KickCancer, The KickCancer Collection, for which participating galleries donated postcard-sized artworks that are sold at a flat rate of €400 for the benefit of the Belgian KickCancer Foundation.
