This is not a show like any other, it is a FAIR, a genuine meeting point for exchange and discussion, devoted to discovery, new movements, conversations, experience, the exchange of ideas, observations and dialogue; a venue for professionals, institutions, collectors, art lovers and novices; a place that advocates the sort of quality that arouses excitement and wonder, and the curiosity to learn more and broaden our knowledge.

BAD+ represents the opportunity to reflect on the key issues that lend art and design their bite and charm, because they often raise difficult matters and questions, from climate change to social and political issues or the pursuit of aesthetic concerns such as beauty and truth.

Out of conviction, BAD+ defends these various points of view all at the same time. BAD+ seeks to shine a light in the darkness without neglecting the wealth, admittedly austere at times, of the paths to collective experience. Its profound intensity is the result of its sincerity, its spontaneity and bold approach, regardless of the medium.

BAD+ aims and objectives:
