FATart Fair
The FATart Fair is the first and only non-profit art fair in Switzerland and Europe dedicated exclusively to showcasing artworks and performances by FLINTA* (women, lesbians, intersex, non-binary, trans, and agender individuals). It has already attracted international attention and recognition from artists and cultural producers alike.
As a high-quality and far-reaching exhibition platform, the FATart Fair offers artists and non-binary creatives increased visibility, recognition, and opportunities. Participation provides direct access to the public and commissions can be generated without the need for gallery representation. Artists sell their works independently, establish valuable connections, and expand their professional networks.
Visitors encounter a diverse, daring, and often surprising spectrum of contemporary art that challenges conventional exhibition formats. FATart Fair opens new perspectives, sparks social dialogue, and brings forward artistic positions that too often remain unseen.
At the FATart Fair, art is not only displayed—it is experienced as an inclusive and inspiring part of public life. Together, we are writing a new chapter in art history.
Our Vision: Fair & International
Mission and Vision
The FATart Fair is committed to establishing a socially and environmentally sustainable exhibition platform within the Swiss art landscape that is welcoming and accessible to the public. Our credo: to showcase the high-quality diversity of FLINTA* artistic positions, foster their networks, and support their lasting presence in the art world. The growing reputation and international attention the FATart Fair has already achieved underscore the urgent need for an exhibition platform exclusively dedicated to these artists.
Social Value
The FATart Fair is more than an art fair—it is a cultural enrichment and a place of exchange. It actively promotes dialogue with the public and collaboration among artists, art historians, curators, gallerists, and other stakeholders in the art world. Open to people of all genders, the fair offers audiences access to inspiring and diverse art that stimulates reflection, sparks social debate, and reveals new perspectives.
Fairness and Sustainability
As a non-profit event, the FATart Fair operates without commercial intent. Artists represent themselves and retain the full proceeds from the sale of their works. To cover costs for exhibition space, the supporting program, catalogue, marketing, salaries, and promotion, FAT charges a moderate participation fee—though this only covers a fraction of the actual expenses. The majority of project costs are met through self-financing and fundraising.
Each year, the FATart Fair also awards free exhibition spaces to artists unable to pay the fee. Our model is designed to minimize both financial barriers and ecological impact—because only through accessibility can a truly wide range of artists take part in this important event.
