Hostesses, promoters, moderators and service staff for your stand at ART COLOGNE – from a single source and with one point of contact.
ART COLOGNE is an international art fair for art of the 20th and 21st centuries; its 59th edition takes place in 2026.
The fair takes place in 2026 from 5 to 8 November in Cologne. According to artcologne.com, it is divided into four sections: GALLERIES for art of the 20th and 21st centuries, NEUMARKT, COLLABORATIONS with jointly curated projects, and ART + OBJECT for functional art, design and applied art. A supporting programme of talks, panels, award ceremonies and guided tours is also on offer. Visitors buy their tickets online.
For ART COLOGNE we plan and manage the deployment from a single source, from the briefing on your gallery programme to the last day of the show. You will find more on our trade fair hostesses and on moderators for trade fairs and congresses on the respective pages. What a deployment costs is explained in our guide to the cost of an exhibition hostess.
Promoters approach art enthusiasts at the stand, present your programme and your artists and record contacts digitally.
Hosts welcome collectors, curators and guests, provide orientation and bring in the right contact from your gallery team. This relieves your team on all four show days.
Moderators with subject expertise guide audiences through expert talks, product presentations and stage programmes at the stand.
Service staff look after drinks and catering for your guests at the stand across all four show days.
