State of the Arts Soapbox

A contemporary forum for anyone with a view on the role, needs and future of art today.

Do you have something to say about what’s wrong, what’s missing and what needs to change? Come and tell us! The Soapbox is part of a wider initiative led by Kunstenpunt and Faro, which will culminate in a General Assembly on the future of the visual arts in Flanders.
