Sales fair for international arts and crafts and design from unique pieces to small series
GRASSIMESSE Leipzig, one of Europe's leading platforms for applied art and design, is once again inviting visitors to enjoy a unique experience in 2024. From 25 to 27 October 2024, around 140 exhibitors from 13 countries will present handmade unique pieces and small series from the fields of jewellery, ceramics, glass, wood, metal, textiles, fashion and paper.
This year, the focus will be on works from Italy and the Netherlands in particular, but contributions from China, Korea, the USA, etc. will also enrich the fair. There will be a special focus on jewellery and ceramics. Thanks to the new smow design prize, the number of submissions in the area of furnishings has increased, with many young talents presenting their works for the first time.
The exhibition stands are spread throughout the GRASSI Museum of Applied Arts. Exhibitors can be found in the foyers, the Art Deco Pillar Hall and in the permanent exhibition "Antiquity to Historicism". This unique combination of historical and contemporary art creates exciting dialogues between tradition and modernity.
The GRASSIMESSE, which takes place annually in October, is regarded as one of the leading international sales fairs for applied art and design, a meeting place for creatives, galleries, experts and visitors from all over Europe. The Grassimesse invites visitors to look, buy and inform themselves and showcases the latest in all areas of arts and crafts and design. Around a third of the exhibitors are newcomers.
Six GRASSI prizes totalling €14,000 will be awarded during the fair. These awards recognise outstanding artistic achievements in various disciplines.
