We are proud to look back on another successful edition of Amsterdam Art Week. The overwhelming response from visitors, galleries, and institutions confirms what we already knew: Amsterdam’s art scene is thriving.
Now, we have an exciting update to share.
From 2026, Amsterdam Art Week moves to November. Our long-standing partner the Rijksakademie Open Studios is making the switch to November, and we are following suit — keeping our two events united and ensuring Amsterdam’s most anticipated art week remains as powerful as ever.
Amsterdam Art Week 2026 takes place from 18 to 22 November. We warmly invite galleries, project spaces, and museums to apply and be part of this new chapter.
Why Participate?
Joining Amsterdam Art Week means more than five days of programming. As a participant, you benefit from:
Visibility across Amsterdam Art’s promotional channels throughout the entire year
Reach through our press and media network
Connection with a wide audience of collectors, curators, and art lovers
