Founded in 2005 by a small group of passionate antique dealers, Brussels Art Square is one of the oldest and most reliable antique and art market districts in the capital. This event takes place every year, usually in September.
One of the aims of the event is to promote the well-established Sablon Square as an important and unique location for art and antiques in Belgium. The organizers also aim to foster international relations within the antiques community and to increase the number of visitors to this colorful gallery district.
The number of participants in the Brussels Art Square varies from year to year, but typically around 50 dealers sign up to take part. Many of them are long-time residents of Le Sablon, known as the oldest and most reliable antiques and art market district in Brussels. During the three days of the festivities, the galleries and antique houses are open to the public, and each shop curates a special selection of high-quality works of art and themed exhibitions to present. There is nothing else like it in the annual antiques calendar, and those with a special passion for antiques, fine art, and collectibles will definitely want to mark their calendars.
The galleries participating in the Brussels Art Square offer free access to a wide range of antiques and works of art. One of the participating shops is the Galerie des Minimes, a fantastic combination of museum and flea market that can keep visitors entertained for hours. Sablon Square is also home to the Marché des Antiquaires du Sablon, a twice-weekly flea market that is an Aladdin's cave for antique lovers. This historic square is steeped in art and culture, and the Brussels Art Square festival is the perfect opportunity to take in everything the place has to offer.
