Art Anderlecht werd in 2022 gelanceerd als een collectief initiatief: een uitnodiging om de gemeente anders te ontdekken, via haar kunstruimtes, ateliers en onafhankelijke initiatieven. Als niet-commercieel tegenwicht voor de Brusselse kunstweek verbindt het kleinschalige plekken die te voet of met de fiets bereikbaar zijn, en creëert het ruimte voor ontmoeting, experiment en uitwisseling.
Running alongside Brussels’ art week, Art Anderlecht offers a different way of moving through the city, of looking and of meeting one another. Openings, workshops, guided tours and evenings punctuate the parcours, offering opportunities to discover what is being created here.
For this new edition, we have chosen to look at what lies between places, between projects, between what is shown and what makes it possible for these projects to exist. The connections that are woven, the resources that are shared, the spaces that are opened up, and the collaborations that give rise to projects. Because an art scene is not built through exhibitions alone, but also through everything that precedes, accompanies and extends beyond them.
This attention to connections runs throughout this year’s programme, where artistic practices, stories, knowledge and resources meet and circulate, from collective making to explorations of the territory.
These projects do not tell a single story, but reveal a shared intuition: what matters is not always where we look. Some practices are fleeting, some spaces exist only for the duration of an event, some stories remain buried, and some connections only become visible when they are activated.
This is where we locate the commons: in the gestures that sustain a community—welcoming, collaborating, caring. Connections that may sometimes be discreet or precarious, but are essential to artistic life. And if the commons help us hold together, they also give us reasons to celebrate. The party, the opening, the gathering or the evening all play a vital role in this collective life: they create connections, produce memories and make us want to stay together.
Our role as curators and facilitators is to accompany these circulations, connect narratives and make visible the relationships that run through these places. Art Anderlecht thus becomes more than an exhibition parcours: it is a journey through a territory and its many stories, its visible and invisible spaces, its fixed and fleeting uses. We invite you to discover what is being made in Anderlecht, to get a little lost along its paths less travelled, and above all, to celebrate those who, together, make it possible.
Since 2022, Art Anderlecht has invited audiences to discover the municipality in a different way, through its studios, independent spaces and artistic initiatives. On foot or by bike, the parcours maps out a human-scale ecosystem shaped by places, encounters, friendships and collaborations.
