BA&DF is a leading fair for Belgian art and design taking place this year at the 'Arsenal', Gentbrugge from October 19 to 22, 2023. BA&DF has the ambition to be a unique, idiosyncratic platform for Belgian art and design.

We are looking for young emerging talent with contemporary, quirky and surprising works and images that put you in the spotlight as an artist or designer. We give you complete freedom in terms of form, material, style and dimensions. We are interested in both two- and three-dimensional work. Whether old or new, existing or adapted, even a "work in progress" can be extremely interesting. 

This open call is intended for students and/or up to 3 years graduate in a plastic design field, such as fine art, Textiles, Glass and Ceramics, (interior) architecture, product design, and so on.

With more than 10,000 visitors, the BA&DF offers a large audience that will be able to see and admire your work and of course you can get in touch with the participating galleries. Additionally, you will enjoy exposure on our social media and website.
Three candidates will also receive additional visibility, they will be promoted by www.differentclass.be/ through social media, video and interviews.
