475

From Alechinsky’s delicate brushwork and the subtle photographs of Stephan Vanfleteren, to the avant-garde experiments of the Taeuber Arp couple, this season’s exhibitions showcase a wide variety of approaches and worlds.

New events, re-openings, and inaugurations: a fresh breeze is blowing through the Brussels art scene this autumn.

The cultural calendar of the capital’s art centres, galleries, and museums also offers great opportunities to discover big names of contemporary art.

Alongside this abundant schedule, a series of new initiatives kick-off the artistic year.

For its first edition, RendezVous is organising a weekend of meetings and openings, with around fifty contemporary art galleries participating.

In Forest, the Espace Constantin Chariot is opening its doors with a bold project that combines exhibitions and artist residencies.

In central Brussels, La Centrale for Contemporary Art is welcoming visitors to its newly renovated  spaces.

Here’s a Together Magazine roundup of the events bringing this season’s art scene to life.
