The Brussels Accessible Art Fair returns to the Conrad Brussels Hotel (Ave. Louise) from Friday 28 until Sunday 30 October. The Accessible Art Fair features fifty emerging and international established artists.
An independent panel of judges have carefully selected the artists on the basis of their talent for creating beautiful artworks at prices that the public can afford. Think of the Accessible Art Fair as a boutique – a carefully selected collection of original artworks, and the opportunity to meet the artists and buy their art.
For the October edition of the fair, we’re pleased to host a photographic exhibition presented by the European Commission’s Directorate General for Health and Consumers, which will feature images from all over the world. The exhibition is composed of the winning entries of a recent photographic competition, which celebrates 2011 as World Veterinary Year. The main objective of the competition is to highlight the incredibly diverse role that veterinarians play around the world. Not only do veterinarians look after your family pet, they’re an integral part in protecting human health by contributing to food security, food safety, animal welfare and many other often unrecognised areas. How does this mesh with Brussels Accessible Art Fair? As the saying goes, a picture says a thousand words. As art lovers, we feel that the best way to explain the importance of veterinarians is through illustration, and we want to help present these photos to our visitors, who can fully appreciate the photos from an artist perspective.
