CENTRALE for contemporary art

Each 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. 

CENTRALE | hall presents exhibitions where confirmed visual artists based in Brussels enter into dialogue with the artists of their choice, along with group exhibitions showcasing a variety of approaches. 

CENTRALE | box hosts emerging artists and supports them in the development of their projects. 

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

Stemming from the visual arts, CENTRALE expands its programme with performances, concerts, art film screenings, meetings, debates, and more. Priority is given to partnering with other local and international cultural institutions. 

People, audiences, are at the heart of CENTRALE’s missions: everyone – art lovers and neophytes, individuals and school groups, associations and families – can discover artworks and activities, be it a guided tour, a workshop, participation in a work in progress, etc. CENTRALE’s 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, visible at the reception of CENTRALE, reveals a part of the mediation work happening both in situ and with the neighborhood. CENTRALE is ultimately a comprehensive cultural project, the project of a capital city, a project for everyone, artists and audiences.
