As a platform for meaningful discourse and collaboration on key issues, the TEFAF Summit seeks to drive awareness and promote action in the art world.
Overview
The TEFAF Summit will take place at TEFAF Maastricht on March 17, 2025, in association with the Netherlands Commission for UNESCO and partner organizations including ICOM Belgium Flanders. The Summit is graciously supported by TEFAF’s Global Lead Partner, AXA XL.
