Prix Laurent Moonens: langdurige residenties voor recent afgestudeerde kunstenaars
About
Created in Brussels on March 25, 2013 to focus around the work and career of the Belgian painter Laurent MOONENS, the MOONENS Foundation has been recognised of public interest by the Belgian authorities on April 18 of the same year. Information about the artist and the foundation are available on the website www.moonens.org. Apart from conserving, diffusing and cataloguing the artworks and archives of Laurent Moonens, the Foundation aims to continue his educational work in helping artists and creators to practice their talent. To achieve this, the Foundation occupies a building that includes 4 workspaces for artists.
The “Prix Laurent Moonens” is a yearly competition opened to final year students of any of the six “Ecole Supérieure d’Art” in Brussels, the home town of the Artist (Sint-Lukas Brussels, ESA St.Luc, La Cambre, ERG, Académie Royale, Le 75). For the “Session 2024”, its eleventh instance, the winners will be awarded one of the four studio spaces in the Foundation house for a 9 months residence.
