GENERATION BRUSSELS

For the past six years, Brussels Gallery Weekend has had a new spark: Generation Brussels. This exhibition, dedicated to young artists, has established itself as a veritable platform of discovery for those fresh out of art school or already making their way in the contemporary art world.

For 4 days, Generation Brussels embodies the bold, innovative spirit of the Belgian capital as a cultural and artistic hotspot in perpetual evolution. Each year, the exhibition introduces the public to a diverse range of emerging talent not represented by galleries, acting as a catalyst by exposing them to a discerning public and providing a showcase for their work.

The artists presented are carefully selected by a curator, guaranteeing the quality and relevance of the works exhibited. Some of these artists are fresh out of art school, imbued with a creative freshness, while others have already begun to make a name for themselves in the contemporary art world. This diversity brings an invaluable richness, allowing the public to discover a variety of styles and mediums.

What sets Generation Brussels apart is its commitment to actively supporting artists in the early stages of their careers. The exhibition offers much more than just an opportunity to exhibit: it creates a network, fosters collaborations and encourages artistic dialogue. Participating artists benefit from increased visibility during the 4-day event and the chance to meet collectors, gallerists and art critics, which can be a vital springboard for their careers.

The exhibition is also an opportunity for visitors to delve into the world of contemporary art, observing changing trends and discovering promising new talent. It's an invitation to reflect, discuss and explore creativity in all its aspects.

In short, Generation Brussels is much more than just an exhibition. It's a celebration of emerging art, a platform of opportunity for young artists, and an annual rendez-vous that injects a dose of vitality and innovation into Brussels' artistic fabric. It's a testament to the city's ongoing commitment to promoting creativity and culture, while offering young artists a valuable chance to shine and flourish on the contemporary art scene.
