-
A gallery space featuring emerging artists

WHERE IS IT
?
Basel Art Summer Camp will take place at HYVE Hostel, just a 3-minute walk from Basel’s central train station.
Unlike traditional white-wall galleries, HYVE offers a relaxed and welcoming space where visitors can engage with art. The hostel’s café and bar provide the perfect setting to chat with artists, grab a coffee, and dive into Basel’s creative energy.


HOW DOES
IT WORK

Each year, we select a group of emerging artists from an open call. Once in Basel, the artists transform the lobby space into an inspiring art gallery.
As a visitor and art collector you can:
-
Explore unique and affordable works – from prints to paintings
-
Join workshops & talks – dive into the creative process
-
Shop affordable art – because everyone can be a collector
MEET THIS YEARS ARTISTS
