Art Basel, Frieze, TEFAF, The Armory Show — the world's most important art fairs, unlocked. VIP previews, private gallery tours, and dinners with the collectors and curators who shape the art world.
Art Basel is the art world's most prestigious international fair, with editions in Basel, Miami Beach, Hong Kong, and Paris+. Each fair draws the world's top galleries, collectors, curators, and cultural institutions for a week of exhibitions, satellite events, and private viewings that set the global art market's direction. VIPMAKKI grants you access to the inner circle — VIP First Choice and Preview Day passes, private curator-led tours, and invitations to the dinners and parties where the art world's most important connections are forged.

Unlike the blue-chip gravitas of Art Basel, Frieze champions the avant-garde — the galleries and artists defining what comes next.

TEFAF Maastricht is the world's preeminent fair for fine art, antiques, and design — a museum-quality experience where Old Master paintings sit alongside Roman antiquities. The Armory Show in New York anchors the American fall season. EXPO CHICAGO, Frieze Masters, and La Biennale Paris each offer distinct entry points into the global art market. VIPMAKKI provides VIP access, private tours, and the relationships to navigate them all.

The art world's most important business happens not in the fair booths but in the dinners, parties, and private viewings that surround them. VIPMAKKI's art advisory team — led by former auction house specialists and gallery directors — provides access to the complete ecosystem of an art fair. Private gallery dinners during Art Basel Miami Beach. Studio visits with represented artists. Breakfast with museum directors. Access to private collections that open their doors only during fair week. These are the experiences that transform an art fair from a spectacle into an immersion.
