40th edition KunstRAI

From Wednesday, April 30th to Sunday, May 4th, 2025, KunstRAI’s festive 40th-anniversary edition will take place in the Parkhal (Hall 8) of RAI Amsterdam. As one of the oldest and most versatile art fairs in the Netherlands, KunstRAI provides a platform for galleries and artists from both the Netherlands and abroad. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to discover a wide array of contemporary art.

This special edition promises to be a true celebration of art and culture. With over 100 participants from the Netherlands and beyond, KunstRAI is the perfect place to uncover new artists and galleries or revisit renowned names in the art world. The diversity of art forms—ranging from paintings and sculptures to photography and design—makes the event accessible and engaging for all art enthusiasts.

What makes this edition particularly special is its overlap with Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary celebrations. This offers a unique opportunity to combine and celebrate two significant milestones. Special programmes and collaborations with Amsterdam-based institutions and artists will highlight the connection between the city and art. Visit the Backstage Academy, for example, where artists from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam will showcase their work.

The KunstRAI 2025 fringe programme is more extensive than ever. Visitors can enjoy exclusive guided tours, inspiring talks and workshops, and live performances during the Artist Night. This programme offers a unique way to not only view art but also experience it. Additionally, the Focus Amsterdam section will feature seven galleries with unique ties to the city, collectively presented at the Focus Amsterdam Square.

KunstRAI 2025 has something for everyone. This 40th-anniversary edition is a unique opportunity to embrace the future of art while reflecting on four decades of contemporary creativity. Join us in the celebration!
