Open Call 10th ARTIST FAIR DRESDEN

The 10th KÜNSTLERMESSE DRESDEN will take place from April 17 to 19, 2026 at the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum Dresden (DHMD).

In the well over ten years of its existence, the fair has transformed itself into the largest sales and contact forum for the visual arts in Saxony, above all with its move from the exhibition grounds to the city center, but also thanks to successful cooperation with the Deutsches Hygiene Museum Dresden and an (international) expansion of the circle of participants two years ago. We are very much looking forward to celebrating this with you next spring – and to becoming even more attractive for more and more guests.

For the second time, not only artists from our region, but also all artists with a degree from the HfBK Dresden, regardless of their place of residence, can participate.

What is also quite new is that they can share their stand with professional artists of their choice – without any further restrictions! In concrete terms, this means that in the interests of all our members, we will continue to cultivate the profile of the KÜNSTLERMESSE DRESDEN as a supra-regional networking platform and will also invite an extended group of participants to the anniversary fair. As the BBK association, we realize this major event with the aim of promoting visual artists in the fields of self-marketing and sales strategies as well as advancing our lobbying work through cooperation.

Attached you will find a PDF with the Open Call, which we ask you to forward to your membership and networks.

You will also find two Insta-compatible image files for sharing via social media.
