CLOSED - Centrale for contemporary art

Nestled in a former power station in the heart of Brussels, Centrale for contemporary art was the contemporary art centre of the City of Brussels. It developped a committed vision of art, beyond boundaries, and connected to the city and to society.

Each year it collaborated with confirmed and emerging artists from Brussels and the international scene to produce exhibitions and multidisciplinary projects housed in its various premises. 

Since 2021, Centrale | vitrine, at 13 rue Sainte-Catherine, showcased the projects of four artists selected through an annual open call. 

Stemming from the visual arts, Centrale expanded its programme with performances, concerts, meetings, debates, and more.

People, audiences, were at the heart of Centrale’s missions: everyone – art lovers and neophytes, individuals and school groups, associations and families – could discover artworks and activities, be it a guided tour, a workshop, participation in a work in progress, etc.

Centrale was ultimately a comprehensive cultural project, the project of a capital city, a project for everyone, artists and audiences.
