KunstRAI, the fair for modern art in the RAI

One of the most established and versatile art events in the Netherlands, KunstRAI opens its doors to an impressive collection of gallery owners and creative minds from both home and abroad. Seize this special opportunity to explore an extensive selection of contemporary artworks. From far and near, art enthusiasts and collectors travel to enjoy modern painting, sculpture, photography, jewelry and design created by both renowned names and emerging talents, with the opportunity to purchase something. In addition to the regular presentations, there are also special areas dedicated to individual artists, where their work is spotlighted and visitors can gain a deeper understanding of their creations.

This special anniversary edition is a vibrant tribute to art and culture. With more than 100 interested parties from the Netherlands and abroad, KunstRAI provides an ideal environment for meeting new faces in the art scene as well as established figures. The rich variety of forms of expression - from canvases and three-dimensional works to photography and design - ensures that the event is attractive and inspiring to anyone with a passion for art.

What makes this edition so special is that it coincides with the celebration of 750 years of Amsterdam - a special opportunity to combine two impressive moments and experience them together. This amalgamation creates unique programs and collaborations with Amsterdam institutions and artists, further highlighting the connection between the city and its creative expressions. For example, you can take a look at the Backstage Academy, where talents from Amsterdam's Gerrit Rietveld Academy showcase their works.

The additional program of KunstRAI 2025 is richer than ever before. Visitors will have the opportunity to participate in exclusive tours, fascinating lectures and workshops, as well as enjoy live performances during the Artist Night. All this offers a special way to not just view art, but to truly experience it. In addition, Focus Amsterdam presents seven galleries, each with its own special connection to the city, which together shine on the Focus Amsterdam square.

KunstRAI 2025 has something for everyone. This 40th anniversary invites us to welcome the future of art as we reflect on four decades of contemporary creativity.
