Dutch Equine Art Fair 2026
29 October – 1 November | Living Horse Museum, Amsterdam
The Dutch Equine Art Fair is a curated exhibition dedicated to contemporary equine art. Now in its fourth edition, the fair brings together a selected group of international artists within a considered exhibition context in the heart of Amsterdam.
Set within the historic Living Horse Museum, the exhibition creates a dialogue between contemporary practice and equestrian heritage, with a focus on artistic direction, consistency and presentation.
Open call
This open call is intended for artists who have a clear and recognisable body of work. It is not a starting platform, but a curated setting for artists who are able to present their work with direction, coherence and intent.
Exhibition
The fair takes place over four public days, preceded by an invite-only opening.
Alongside the exhibition, a curated public programme creates additional moments of visibility and engagement.
Participation
Each selected artist is provided with a dedicated presentation space within the exhibition. Artists are asked to submit a selection of works as part of their application. From this, a final group of works will be selected for presentation within the exhibition.
Further details on presentation, installation and practical requirements are provided upon acceptance.
Start Your Collection
As part of the exhibition, a small curated selection of works will be presented under the title Start Your Collection.
This selection is intended as an accessible entry point for new collectors, while maintaining the same level of quality and presentation as
the wider exhibition.
