The premise of the event is to invite the galleries that had confirmed for BRAFA 2021 to develop exhibitions in their own locations of the works that they had selected for the fair. BRUSSELS.- There is no denying that the invitation the international art fair BRAFA’s Board committee extended at the end of October to participate in ‘BRAFA in the Galleries’, its alternative ‘fair’, was met with much interest. A total of 126 galleries confirmed their participation in the subsequent weeks. As such, 126 exhibitions will be organized in 13 countries and 37 cities, for the most part in their dedicated gallery spaces. The premise of the event is to invite the galleries that had confirmed for BRAFA 2021 to develop exhibitions in their own locations of the works that they had selected for the fair. They can then invite their customers, in strict compliance with the current Covid-19 measures to visit in person. Our hope is that this will re-establish the pleasure of direct contact between dealers, collectors and works of art, at the end of a long period during which we were deprived of many of these precious and irreplaceable exchanges. The last few months have indeed been punctuated by cancellations, postponements or online versions of countless events. Today the art market feels a tremendous need to gradually reconnect with some measure of regained freedom. An initiative that revolves around gallery exhibitionsUnlike other art fair initiatives relying solely on virtual events and communication, ’BRAFA in the Galleries’ is developed around the galleries, at the galleries. The BRAFA website has been adapted for this period to promote and communicate this new activity. There will be 126 exhibitions in total hosted by the participating galleries, eleven of which will be joining BRAFA’s ranks for the first time, namely the galleries Artimo Fine Arts (Brussels), Arts et Autographes (Paris), Dr. Lennart Booij Fine Arts & Rare Items (Amsterdam), Hadjer (Paris), Nao Masaki (Nagoya), Jordi Pascual (Barcelona), São Roque - Antiguidades e Galerie de Arte (Lisbon), Tenzing Asian Art (San Francisco), Van der Meij Fine Arts (Amsterdam), Maurice Verbaet (Knokke), and Waddington Custot (London).…
