Galleries, studios and exhibitions aren't the only draw during Kunsttage Basel – the local food and drink scene has also cooked up something special. Together with selected Basel establishments, exclusive dishes and drinks have been created, inspired by art, colour and creativity. Whether it's yuzu gelato, an artfully composed pinsa, a cocktail in the colours of Kunsttage, or an edible pizza canvas: each special was created exclusively for Kunsttage and is only available during the festival week. Discover the culinary highlights and pair your art walk with a moment of indulgence.
