Unfair connects you directly to contemporary artists, their stories and creations

Unfair Amsterdam was founded in 2012 by artists, based on an artist-first philosophy. Since then, Unfair has provided a platform for over 650 (inter) national emerging and established artists at more than 70 events. By focusing on the creators, Unfair offers its visitors (buyers, viewers and professionals) a unique perspective on contemporary visual art. Unfair safeguards the position of talented contemporary artists on their way to the top by connecting them, in a playful way, with art lovers and buyers.

Discover

Unfair is the ultimate destination for contemporary art lovers. Through different projects, such as our annual art fair, we bring together a diverse range of emerging artists to showcase their latest works.

Our fair is a curated event. Each year, a Curatorial Advisory Committee is installed to propose a longlist of emerging and renowned artists who have caught their attention and who are in the formative years of their practice. Based on this longlist, Unfair curates a shortlist. Together, every group is carefully composed and reflects current cultural developments, with a wide arrange of practices, background, media and stages of development, with national and international impact.

It is not possible to submit your work for participation at Unfair. We are open for inspiration however, drop us a line at inspiration@unfair.nl.

Connect and collect

We’re not just about showcasing art – we’re all about connecting you with the artists behind it. Our approach is playful, off-the-beaten-path, and always genuine. We believe that art should be accessible to everyone, whether you’re an artist, a casual visitor, or a seasoned collector.

Get to know our artists personally during on of our events, such as our annual fair, or browse our Profiles for inspiration year long. If you happen to find that one work that ticks all your boxes, please drop us an email at connect@unfair.nl.

Take care

The artists form our backbone, the very foundation of a healthy art market. We support our makers not only by helping them present their practice, but also work to support them collectively in the development of their work. Our revolving fund, the Artist Fund, enables artists to invest in their presentation at Unfair and support future generations of artists doing the same. We’re bridging the gap between institutions and the market, helping artists to develop their careers, present their work, and sell it – all in a fair and sustainable way.
