For and by artists: open discussion on tools for (international) support of artists


An afternoon public programme organised by UFO organisations in collaboration with Flanders Arts Institute, at the ground floor of Jubilee’s workspace at Meyboom Artist-run Spaces. Various speakers and guest curators will host and partake in an open discussion meant for artists and artist-centred organisations.


19/03/2022, 14-19h
Meyboom Artist-run Spaces, Brussels
Participation is free, please register here


After a keynote introduction on ‘Infrastructures of care and support for and by artists’ by Danielle van Zuijlen (Kunsthal Gent, NUCLEO), six international guest curators briefly introduce themselves and explain which formats or instruments they use to support artists in their daily practice.


Afterwards, participants can exchange examples with the curators in smaller groups, and discuss questions such as: what kind of support do you need to develop your artistic practice? How does exchange with peers nourish your artistic environment? How can organisations supporting artists play a role in building more sustainable relationships around artistic practices? Can support organisations extend from a local to an international scale?


What are your examples and what are your questions? What can artists and artist-centred organisations do together? Join the talk and start building a sustainable environment for your and everyone’s artistic practice.
