Solo Show
The Solo Shows presented by established and upcoming artists are spread throughout the 2 halls of the fair. Galleries are making a statement by showing one specific on site project by an individual artist. This gives the visitor the opportunity to get to know the work of an artist more in depth. The best solo show artist, selected by the collectors committee is rewarded with the Belgacom Art prize.
The winners of the best Solo Shows are announced at the press conference during the official opening of the fair.
