BASEL INDEPENDENT CIRCUIT 2026

The Basel Independent Circuit 2026 is a coordinated network of non–commercial art spaces coming together during Art Basel week.
While much of the spotlight falls on commercial exhibitions, the circuit highlights a parallel ecosystem-bringing visibility to the independent, artist-driven practices that shape Basel's cultural landscape.
