Brussels Art Week Set to Showcase Diverse Cultural Heritage
From September 4 to 7, Brussels will host Brussels Art Week, featuring exhibitions and events across more than forty venues throughout the city, reports 24brussels. This year’s highlight is the Salon de RendezVous on Rue de la Régence, designed as a central gathering point by artist Zoë Williams.
The festival, an initiative of RendezVous founded by curators Laure Decock and Evelyn Simons, aims to position Brussels as a significant player in the international art scene by highlighting the city’s rich cultural heritage.
During the four-day event, visitors can explore exhibitions in galleries, museums, and private collections, as well as attend studio visits at locations such as Level Five, SB34, KultXL, and WIELS. The program includes guided neighborhood tours, performances, lectures, panel discussions, listening sessions, and late-night parties. Noteworthy is a large-scale inflatable sculpture by artist Sharon Van Overmeiren, featured in a public space, alongside artist talks at various galleries.
The organizers emphasized the unique nature of Brussels, stating, “Brussels Art Week offers a rare glimpse into the city’s broad and diverse art scene, opening doors to the living and working spaces of its artists. It remains a place where young artists can still afford to live and work alongside a network of leading galleries and established institutions presenting outstanding exhibitions.”
