What we’re about
In the spirit of making Art Basel a little more affordable to everyone, we’ve created the Basel Art Summer Camp: a community-led initiative running parallel to the art week’s festivities. We’re providing a platform for emerging artists to stay in Basel and showcase their work during this art-filled week. And inviting art enthusiasts (like you), to immerse themselves in the experience and offer a place where they can view, enjoy and buy art, which varies in budget ranges.
The exhibition space will be in hyve hostels reception and lobby area - and is open to the public 18th - 22nd June.
Opening Party: 18th June as from 6 pm
Art Gallery and Art Shop: open daily 19th June - 22nd June
Join us for 3 days of art workshops, live mural drawing, an opening reception, gallery space... and more!
