This spirited week in Basel, the vivacious June Art Fair rejoices in its 2025 edition, on view through June 22 at Riehenstrasse 90B, 4058 Basel. Here, a legendary concrete bunker evolves into an immersive gallery encounter designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron.

In 2019, the very first edition of June Art Fair unfolded in the midst of a buzzing Basel Art Week. Deftly led by galleries, the fair was created as an independent alternative, merging a meticulously curated group of participants spanning generations. The booth-free structure, humble scale, and close proximity to Messeplatz and Art Basel have deemed it a treasure of the art’s calendar.

Today, seamlessly organized by VI, VII (Oslo) and Christian Andersen (Copenhagen), the Landhof Community Garden embraces the locale as a shimmering destination of community, culture, and authenticity.
