Art doesn’t only unite, it animates as well, with these words the Ambassador of Belgium to the Kingdom of the Netherlands H.E. Chris Hoornaert welcomed his guests to an exclusive reception on the occasion of the upcoming BRAFA (Brussels Art Fair) at his residence in The Hague.
Apart from Ambassador Chris Hoornaert welcome remarks, other speakers were: BRAFA’s vice chairman Francis Maere and secretary-general Mr. Christian Vrouyr. Delen Private Bank and the Embassy of Belgium co-hosted the exclusive event. The reception clearly offered an excellent opportunity to rub shoulders with exhibitors at the upcoming BRAFA.
Simultaneously with the BRAFA promotion, there was the Province of Limburgexhibition at the residence of Ambassador Chris Hoornaert.
BRAFA is the most prominent art fair in Belgium and ranks among the oldest in the world. It all started in 1956 and these days BRAFA is one of the most famous high-quality fine art, antiques, modern- and contemporary art and design fairs.
What is more, BRAFA also organizes art talks and guided tours during the fair. Over the years BRAFA has grown into a well-attended international event with hundreds of exhibitors from various countries and over sixty thousand visitors in 2018.
The 64th edition of BRAFA will run from 26 January to 3 February 2019. It will present private and professional collectors an introduction to twenty different collection disciplines with art objects from antiquity to date.
By all means, BRAFA sets the pattern in the art market.
