ACAF (Accessible Art Fair) is now in its thirteenth year and is returning to Bozar with a new selection of under-represented artists from October 10-13. Founded by Canadian arts entrepreneur and curator, Stephanie Manasseh in 2006, her mission has always been to offer a platform to self-representing artists. Artists are selected by our jury comprised of artworld heavyweights to ensure the quality of the works presented. Stephanie Manasseh - Founder & Director October 10 - Opening event (By invitation only) October 11 and 12 day time open to public October 12 - Special DJ night with Simon de Pury October 13 - day time open to public Simon will DJ an evening session in presence of the artists and guests "For me, DJing is identical to auctioneering: If you're an auctioneer you want everybody to be actively bidding, and so the one thing that gives me an equal kick is to DJ because you instantly see the results of your work.
