Expanding our outreach
Art Basel has extended its engagement beyond art fairs through a number of new initiatives, each dedicated to fortifying the artworld’s key players. In 2015, Art Basel and BMW launched their joint initiative to recognize and support emerging artists worldwide – the BMW Art Journey. For Art Basel Cities, inaugurated in 2016, Art Basel is working with select partner cities to develop dynamic, content-rich programs tailored to each individual city. Art Basel Cities helps its partners promote and grow their unique cultural landscape by connecting them to the global artworld through Art Basel's network and expertise. In 2017, Art Basel and UBS issued the first Art Basel and UBS Global Art Market Report. Published annually, the comprehensive report tracks and analyzes today's international art market.
Art Basel and BMW have launched the BMW Art Journey, a first-of-its-kind award that enables the winning artists to design a journey of creative discovery to a destination of their choice.
Art Basel Cities partners with selected municipalities to develop bespoke programs that are compelling and intellectually rigorous, presenting the artworld with new opportunities to engage with cultural offerings across the world.
Art Basel and UBS present The Art Market, an annual global art market analysis. The Art Market covers all aspects of the international market and highlights the most important developments in the previous year.
