ART COLOGNE Side Events.
The world's oldest art fair demands experiences that go beyond the exhibition halls. We produce your event at ART COLOGNE.
ART COLOGNE
Side Events.
ART COLOGNE brings together the most influential voices in the art world. To stand out here requires more than extraordinary artworks. The most influential conversations begin where the trade fair bustle ends. Our full-service event agency creates these spaces – and we also advise ambitious fairs on their conceptual development.
Exclusive Vernissages
We stage evening events that provide the perfect setting to present new works or artists to a selected circle.
Collector Dinners
Curated gatherings of collectors and artists in an exclusive atmosphere. True relationships form at dinner, not standing at a cocktail reception.
VIP Tours & Talks
Exclusive access to private collections or strategic panel discussions that position your gallery as a thought leader.

Questions about ART COLOGNE
When does ART COLOGNE take place?
ART COLOGNE takes place annually in April in Cologne. It is one of the world's oldest art fairs – founded in 1967 – and attracts around 200 galleries from over 30 countries. For side events and private evening programmes we recommend a lead time of at least 4–6 months.
What does an evening format at ART COLOGNE cost?
That depends on size, location and ambition. ART COLOGNE attracts an audience with high expectations for space and atmosphere – which is reflected in the venue selection. We can work with different budgets and will be clear about what is realistic.
Do you have experience with an art audience?
Yes – and this matters. An art audience is different from a conference audience or a gaming community. The space, the pace, the music, the light – everything must work, without imposing. We know how to build an event that holds back and yet is memorable.
Can you organise Cologne private collections or unusual locations?
That's actually one of the most exciting things we do during ART COLOGNE. We have access to extraordinary places that are not on Booking.com. If that suits you, let's talk about it.
