From January 21 to 25, 2026, Ceramic Brussels transforms Tour & Taxis into a creative playground for the curious, art lovers and enthusiasts of beautiful forms.
A fair that puts ceramics in the spotlight
Forget wise, decorative objects: Ceramic Brussels is THE fair that proves ceramics is today a major medium of contemporary art. For its 3ᵉ edition, the event brings together over 70 Belgian and international exhibitors and more than 200 established and emerging artists in a spectacular setting at Tour & Taxis.
Set over nearly 7,000 m², the fair offers an immersive scenography designed for strolling, marvelling and exchanging. Monumental sculptures, experimental pieces, delicate or radical works: here, terracotta dialogues with painting, architecture, design and even performance art. Whether you’re a connoisseur or just curious, you’ll find yourself strolling through a living museum, with the added advantage of being able to meet artists and gallery owners face-to-face.
The highlight of the show isthe group exhibition of the 10 winners of the Ceramic Brussels Art Prize, which supports young European talent and offers an exciting insight into the new contemporary ceramics scene.
Focus on Spain and exceptional guest of honor
This year, Spain is in the spotlight, as part of EUROPALIA ESPAÑA 2025-26. An invitation that highlights a vibrant, inventive Spanish ceramics scene that is still too little known. Selected galleries, emerging artists and established figures reveal a wealth of practices that combine heritage, innovation and a contemporary outlook.
Another not-to-be-missed highlight is the presence of Elmar Trenkwalder, guest of honor at this 2026 edition. The Austrian artist, renowned for his monumental, organic sculptures, will have a dedicated exhibition at the heart of the show, accompanied by exclusive meetings and presentations. A rare opportunity to discover his fascinating universe in a privileged setting.
Ceramic Brussels also includes talks, conferences, awards ceremonies, a pop-up bookshop, relaxation and catering areas… In short, a complete experience where visitors come to learn as much as to be surprised.
