Centrale: contemporary art exhibitions in Brussels<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nestled in a former power station in the heart of Brussels, Centrale for contemporary art<\/a> is the contemporary art centre of the City of Brussels.
\nIt develops a committed vision of art, beyond boundaries, and connected to the city and to society.
\nEach year it collaborates with confirmed and emerging artists from Brussels and the international scene to produce exhibitions and multidisciplinary projects housed in its various premises.<\/p>\n

Since 2021, Centrale | vitrine<\/strong>, at 13 rue Sainte-Catherine, showcases the projects of four artists selected through an annual open call.<\/p>\n

Centrale also works with Brussels\u2019 art schools. Since 2017 it has offered residencies to students enrolled in the CARE Master \u2013 exploring the plural practices of exhibition making \u2013 initiated with the Acad\u00e9mie royale des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles. In addition, in July 2020, the first edition of the Brussels Videonline Festival,<\/a> organised in partnership with seven Brussels-based art schools, broadcast the films of twenty-one recently graduated art students. The festival is now held every two years in February.<\/p>\n

Stemming from the visual arts, Centrale expands its programme with performances, concerts, art film screenings, meetings, debates, and more<\/a>. Priority is given to partnering with other local and international cultural institutions.<\/p>\n

People, audiences, are at the heart of Centrale\u2019s missions: everyone \u2013 art lovers and neophytes, individuals and school groups, associations and families \u2013 can discover artworks and activities, be it a guided tour, a workshop<\/a>, participation in a work in progress, etc.<\/p>\n

Centrale\u2019s mediation team offers specific attention to the needs of organisations and school groups in order to create tailor-made activities in relation to the exhibitions. The MOODBOARD<\/a>, visible at the reception of Centrale, reveals a part of the mediation work happening both in situ and with the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Centrale is ultimately a comprehensive cultural project, the project of a capital city, a project for everyone, artists and audiences.<\/p>\n
