A series of professional meetings with various artists, exhibitions and public conversation.

The Art Anderlecht Visitors Programme is organised by Flanders Arts Institute and the Art Anderlecht network. This programme takes place in Anderlecht, one of the most culturally and socio-economically diverse neighbourhoods with a thriving art community in Brussels.

The programme will include a series of professional meetings with various artists, visits to exhibitions and a public talk on the value of spaces for artists.
