Focusing on what’s new in the international art scene, Unseen discovers and presents artworks of upcoming artists and helps them to develop their practice, as well as presenting the latest work of established artists.

Unseen creates a unique space for exchanging ideas and knowledge, hearing different voices, raising awareness of the burning issues of today and expanding the international community.

Unseen currently consists of the following:

UNSEEN AMSTERDAM
Unseen Amsterdam is an event that lies between an art fair and a contemporary photography festival taking place in September that showcases the latest developments in the field of contemporary photography practices.

Here you can expect to discover artists, both emerging and established, whose works are asking questions that open up new ways of thinking and break existing prejudices. With over 25,000 visitors each year, we are excited to present a programme that invites and welcomes the international art community to discuss and debate the current and future issues and challenges of our reality and the world we live in. From the Fair (53 international galleries), Exhibitions and Living Room (three-day speakers programme) to the Book Market, On-site Projects and City Programme, you can immerse yourself in the real pleasure and experience of contemporary photography practice.
