Start with the official access schedule
The organiser lists preview access on 22–23 January and public days from 24–31 January, including an invitation-only Monday. Confirm the correct ticket or invitation before travel.
Define the collecting or professional brief
BRAFA spans fine art, antiques, modern and contemporary art and design. Record categories, makers, periods, budget context and questions before contacting galleries.
Prepare gallery appointments
Request object information, provenance, literature and condition material where appropriate. Keep acquisition due diligence separate from access and hospitality planning.
Respect venue rules
The organiser restricts large bags and photography without gallery permission. Review the current practical information and brief every guest before arrival.
Plan the Brussels programme
Museum visits, gallery meetings and private events can extend the calendar. Confirm hosts, group commitments by area and protect time for fair follow-up.
How Access supports BRAFA
Access by ICON IMAGE can coordinate confirmed invitations, appointments, guest schedules, movements and private hosting around the fair.
