Hybrid Art Fair is an international, medium-sized fair with one of the largest numbers of participants from abroad; exhibitors from a total of 12 countries take part. In addition, Hybrid aims to showcase new exhibit formats and spread contemporary art. For this reason, art galleries aren't the only ones exhibiting—the fair also includes spaces for independent art, self-exhibitors, non-profits, project spaces, and more.

At Hybrid Art Fair, the audience typically find that the artists themselves explain their artwork, due to the huge quantity of projects and spaces run by artists in the exhibitor program. Over 150 creators take part in the fair, from emerging artists to those at the peak of their career. In addition, each year a call for artists is opened where around 10 projects are selected. These later form part of the program Displaced.

Hybrid Art Fair takes place in a hotel—inside the rooms. Each hotel residency is taken up by a different artistic space, so the audience experience something different whenever they enter, leave, and journey through each space.
At Hybrid Art Fair, the exhibitors play with the space they have—in this case, with beds, nightstands, minibars, nooks, showers, and a whole lot more. Furthermore, in the 2020 edition, all exhibitions will be curated around different themes. This means that a viewer won't just find individual artworks on their journey—they'll uncover a unique exhibition in each space.
