A small, fine art fair in the Alps - that was our vision. Far away from anonymous exhibition halls, right into the heart of the experience.
In the power station by the waterfall.
An extraordinary format that makes it possible to experience art in a completely new way. High-calibre galleries travel to us in the mountains to present outstanding contemporary art in a unique setting. They come by personal invitation, enjoy an inspiring time in the midst of the alpine scenery and present their artists in a fascinating location.
What makes art:badgastein so special? The opportunity to experience art in a completely new context - together with artists and collectors, in an atmosphere of encounter and exchange. On the mountain, in nature.
For our 15th anniversary, we have a very special partner at our side: we are delighted to have POSITIONS on board to curate this year's fair. Another highlight for sommer.frische.kunst. We are excited.
With the anniversary also comes change: bigger, more diverse and at a new location. The fair is moving to the legendary Hotel Astoria on Kaiser-Wilhelm-Promenade - a historic, vacant building with art-loving owners who are opening their doors for this special project.
Our mission remains unchanged: To surprise, inspire and seek out the extraordinary.
Opening hours:
Mon-Thu 2 to 6 pm
Fri-Sun 11 am to 6 pm
