Unfair Art Festival transformed into Unfair™ in 2020. Instead of a four-day art fair in April as it used to be, it is now a temporary art museum that can be visited for a select few days from Thursday to Sunday each autumn. Book your tickets and immerse yourself in art in this special setup at Westergas!

Unfair™ invites visitors to enjoy art and architecture in an intimate setting in Amsterdam. It's a pop-up art museum where you can connect with artists of today and tomorrow and immerse yourself in first-rate art. Experience one of Amsterdam's most exciting venues packed full of contemporary art, architecture and performances.
