In this episode we’re talking about contemporary art with Art Brussels Managing Director Anne Vierstraete.

What is an art fair?

At the head of Art Brussels for almost 9 years, Anne Vierstraete and her team, exclusively made of women, work a whole year to organise one of the major art fair in Europe.

After a successful career in private banking and medical research, Anne Vierstraete defines herself as a lucky person. And with good reasons, she never hided her passion for arts and people. One month before the fair, I met Anne in the headquarters of Art Brussels.

In this episode, we talk about the Belgian art scene, the art fair as a discovery place, but also the rising of NFTs, how to make contemporary art more accessible and how everything is about encounters.

Art Brussels is every year but for this 38th edition, Art Brussels will take place between the 28th of April and the 1st of May 2022.
