Art in the City

Outdoor sculpture exhibition in the Egmont Park

Since 2009, the City of Brussels supports the fair by acquiring an outdoor sculpture for the improvement of the public space projects. Each year one of the artists participating in “Art in the City” is invited to create an outdoor sculpture for a specific public space for the city of Brussels. The artists in the exhibition are represented by galleries showing in the fair.

The exhibition takes place in the idyllic Egmont Park, located in the heart of Brussels, next to the Hotel (formerly the Hilton hotel). The prize winner will be announced at the official opening on Thursday morning.
