Closing of la Centrale for contemporary art: show your support
La Centrale for contemporary art has to close its doors on 22 February.
The news came suddenly, unexpectedly, and harshly. It is all the more incomprehensible given that La Centrale only reopened just over a year ago following renovation works.
The fifteen staff members are in shock and overwhelmed by the situation. The team and the board of Brussels Museums are outraged, particularly because this decision was taken without any form of consultation and the closure is scheduled in less than three months.
La Centrale, a member of our federation, is an essential venue for contemporary art in Brussels. We therefore support the actions aiming to reverse this decision. We are aware of the City of Brussels’ challenging budgetary situation, but any changes must be made in dialogue with the sector and the operators concerned, and fostered within a climate of trust.
What can you do?
- Sign the petition against the closure
- Visit La Centrale’s exhibitions
Let us remain united in these turbulent times.
