For artists seeking greater visibility and meaningful connections with collectors, 2025 and 2026 bring three standout opportunities in the Netherlands and Belgium. All three fairs are part of the De Kunst Collega’s group, an organization renowned for its large-scale, internationally oriented art events. What sets De Kunst Collega’s apart is its professional approach: each fair is carefully structured with the exhibiting artist in mind, ensuring that presentation, audience, and atmosphere come together to create an experience that benefits both artists and visitors.
A striking architectural setting: Brabant Art Fair – March 21 & 22, 2026
On March 21 and 22, 2026, the city of Tilburg will once again host the Brabant Art Fair, a high-level event dedicated to celebrating contemporary creativity. Each year, the fair brings together a diverse group of artists and partners, offering visitors the chance to explore a wide range of artworks in a carefully curated setting. Designed for art lovers and collectors who value quality, it has become a staple for those seeking a memorable cultural experience in the region.
The venue itself is just as remarkable as the fair: the Koepelhal, a former factory site in Tilburg’s Spoorzone. Until 2011, trains were still assembled here – a thought that seems almost unbelievable when you see the space today, transformed into a dynamic cultural hub. With its striking industrial architecture and vast open layout, the hall accommodates up to 3,000 visitors.
Applications for the 2026 edition are open until December 15, 2025, and Singulart artists benefit from a 15% discount on booth fees and guaranteed admission. To apply:
– Register for the selection process at https://brabantartfair.nl/aanmelden/ before December 15, 2025, or earlier if fully booked.
– Use the discount code available in the artist space.
– For any questions, the dedicated contact is Els van Lent (info@arteindhoven.nl)
The industrial charm of Art Eindhoven – February 8 & 9, 2026
Every February, the Klokgebouw at Strijp S in Eindhoven opens its industrial halls to over a hundred artists for Art Eindhoven. The venue, once a Philips factory, has become an icon of Dutch creative heritage and provides a striking backdrop for contemporary art.
The fair is known for its diversity: painting, photography, sculpture, and design sit side by side, carefully chosen by a professional jury. Each edition draws several thousand visitors—collectors, art lovers, and the curious alike—creating an energetic and open atmosphere. Artists benefit not only from direct encounters with buyers, but also from the professional infrastructure: stands equipped with lighting, promotional support through catalogues and social media, and a welcoming space to meet colleagues and exchange ideas.
Applications for the 2026 edition are open until October 15, 2025, and Singulart artists benefit from a 15% discount on booth fees. To apply:
– Register for the selection process at arteindhoven.com/sign-up before October 15, 2025.
– Email info@arteindhoven.nl stating that you are a Singulart artist.
– Once confirmed, you can choose your stand and apply your discount code (available in your Artist Space).
The Nationale Kunstdagen – November 15 & 16, 2025
Later in the year, attention shifts to Gorinchem, where the Nationale Kunstdagen will take place in the Evenementenhal. This annual event has built a reputation as a broad meeting ground for independent artists and their audiences.
The atmosphere here is accessible and lively. Hundreds of artists present their work across media, inviting conversations with collectors and visitors who appreciate the directness of encountering art in such a setting. With its wide scope, the fair serves as both a sales platform and a showcase of emerging and established talent.
Registration closes on September 30, 2025 and unlike general applicants, Singulart artists are automatically guaranteed participation and can directly reserve their stand using the 15% discount code (available in your Artist Space).For assistance, reach out to Ashton Broeders (info@kunstdagen.nl)
