It is being renamed Tribal Art London and will henceforth be held at Mall Galleries, where it will include twice as many participants as previous years. This should also double the chances that its attendees will be able to find the masks, figures, textiles, ornaments, and ethnographic photographs they are looking for. Books and publications will also be available, and Tribal Art magazine will have a presence there as well. The new show will be held September 10–13. Except for the opening, which will be by invitation only, admission will be free to the public. BRUSSELS ART SQUARE Brussels—The Brussels Art Square event in the Sablon neighborhood galleries will take place on September 26–27 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. and this year will include a number of British participants. As it has been since its inception in 2005, it will be an opportunity for encounters and discoveries in all artistic disciplines: from designer furniture to classical antiquities and Haute Epoque, and, of course, non-European art. The latter will be represented by Galerie Patrick and Ondine Mestdagh, Schiller Art Gallery, and Serge Schoffel. EVENTS IN THE NETHERLANDS Amsterdam—Tribal Art Fair Amsterdam 2014 will take place October 23–26 of this year in the De Duif church on the Prinsengracht. It will host some twenty dealers specializing in non-European arts, hailing from both the Netherlands and from neighboring countries. Many masks, figures, ornaments, textiles, and other objects will be the focus of attention. From November 23–30, Amsterdam will be in the spotlight again with PAN Amsterdam, the country’s largest contemporary art, design, and antiques show, which brings in about 45,000 visitors every year. The event now deserves to be on the tribal art enthusiast’s itinerary, since as of last year, it has included a tribal arts pavilion featuring the Brussels galleries of Jo de Buck and Joris Visser, as well as the national Sanne Nies Salon Tribal Art organization. .
