June 5‐7, 2009
Opening its doors on June 5 and celebrating all weekend along with the European Elections – Brussels’ Accessible Art Fair is continuing its unique tradition for a third year; bringing international artwork to a Brussels audience.
Combining originality, accessibility and a chance to talk and buy from the artists themselves BAAF is a veritable agora of colors and prices that won’t have you heading for the door.
For its third year programme BAAF is collaborating with Silken Berlaymont Hotel bringing art closer to Schuman and the heart of the EU in an effort to open the doors of inter‐European Culture and art; as well as taking on a charitable role with an auction night planned on June 6.
Following the success of last years BAAF; director Stephanie Manasseh is hoping for an art fair to remember:
“Last year’s edition was a great success but I know that this year things are going to be on a different scale.”
International artists will be exhibiting their paintings, sculpture, photography, and prints, all priced between €50‐€3000.
The Brussels Accessible Art Fair is a unique initiative in Brussels attracting visitors ranging from first time art buyers to art collectors on the lookout for new talent. Whichever you are, you will find what you are looking for.
In a move towards charity the second night of the fair will also be dedicated to a charity night and a first time auction whose resulting funds will go towards the children at Les Amis de L’Institut Jules Bordet.

TRUC TROC @ the Bozar - Brussels Belgium 31-1 / 1-2 2009
I am pleased to announce that my work has been accepted to the 5th edtion of TRUC TROC at the Bozar in Brussels, Belgium. If you are in the area, please add it to your calendar and try to attend. It is a very fun event and affords the opportunity to see a lot of great work
TRUC TROC at the Bozar. 31 January: 19:00- 2:00 and 1 February: 10:00 - 18:00, 2009.
Below is the english information from the Bozars website( to go to website please click on TRUC TROC logo):
Truc Troc, everything except a classical exhibition, is an artistic, musical and festive evening, weekend-time, plastic artists from all sides, but also musicians, dj's and performers !
During the weekend a simple principle is proposed to the visitor: trade all kinds of objects, services, trips or anything else depending on your imagination, against original pieces of modern art. Of course, the artist has the choice in the trade. He can choose whatever he likes most, depending on his interests and on what he feels covers the value of his art. Money is never involved in this concept of trading.
On one side, there are the confirmed artists, on the other side this fifth edition opens its doors widely for young artists to be discovered within the contemporary Belgian art scene.
