Why art KARLSRUHE is your optimal sales platform!
Impressions of the gallery stands
art KARLSRUHE benefits from its location in the state of Baden-Württemberg, which boasts a dense cultural landscape and is the home of a great many art collectors. Located near the point where the borders of Germany, Switzerland and France meet, the fair has established itself since 2004 as an essential event in the immediate vicinity of great collections such as Grässlin (St. Georgen), Schaufler (Sindelfingen) and Hoppe-Ritter (Waldenbuch), Museum Würth (u.a. Schwäbisch Hall) and the Frieder Burda Foundation (Baden-Baden).
Moreover, art KARLSRUHE is convincing thanks to its curatorial concept, which assigns clearly defined focal points to each of the halls.
- Hall 1: Graphic Prints + Original Editions
- Hall 2: Art after 1945 + Contemporary Art
- Hall 3: Classic Modern + Contemporary Art
- Hall 4/dm-arena: ContemporaryArt 21
The adjudicating seven-person Advisory Board of art KARLSRUHE is composed of experts in the fair’s individual focal points.
A spacious layout, the integration of Sculpture Areas and the presentation of One-Artist-Shows round out the concept.
The outstanding quality of the comprehensive auxiliary programme sparks equally strong enthusiasm among visitors and gallery owners.

In order to make the presentation as comfortable as possible for you as exhibitor, the information stands of the Museum Mile already contain a stand construction and marketing package in addition to the stand area. Possible stand sizes vary from 9 to 24 square meters.

It is a pure advertising platform for the institution and its exhibitions, but not for individual artists. This is reserved for the galleries at the fair.
