Art history is a source of information and inspiration for art lovers, collectors and dealers alike. For the fourth year in a row, Brafa has organized the Brafa Art Talks, a series of daily lectures.
This year, the King Baudouin Foundation is curating the Brafa Art Talks. 2017 marks their Heritage Fund’s 30th anniversary and the 10th anniversary of their presence at Brafa. The Heritage Fund is devoted to the conservation and protection of Belgian cultural heritage. Curators, restorers, art world professionals and art market experts will take turns to share their knowledge, covering diverse fascinating subjects.
Daily at 4 pm at the Brafa Lounge - stand 46a
