"Art Fairs must keep upgrading their experiences" The Art Newspaper
Art Rotterdam is happy to celebrate its first edition at the new location Rotterdam Ahoy in 2025. This move makes it possible to accommodate 28.000 international collectors, curators, professionals and art lovers, and provides enough space to reshape the fair with a new concept.
Art Rotterdam 2025 will be a unique experience. The fair will feature a grid of galleries interspersed with large curated sections where galleries can showcase video art, installations and sculptures at no additional costs. This will create a rich, diverse and inspiring visitor experience, ensuring a future-proof Art Rotterdam.
For many years Art Rotterdam has boasted excellent sales figures for the participating galleries. During the last edition, the vast majority of non-Dutch galleries were satisfied or more than satisfied with their sale results from the fair.
Free hotel stay for non-Dutch galleries during Art Rotterdam
To make the stay of non-Dutch galleries during Art Rotterdam as pleasant as possible, we are offering a free hotel stay of four nights during the fair period at our partner hotel, the four-star Bilderberg Parkhotel Rotterdam. This will also be the Art Rotterdam gallery & collectors hub during the fair.
