Ceramic Art Andenne was born of the desire to perpetuate an initiative linked to the town's history of ceramics. Created in 1988, the event attracted a public of connoisseurs and renowned artists.
It became the Ceramic Biennial in 1992, supported by the Centre Culturel d'Andenne, then Ceramic Art Andenne in 2018, and is fully dedicated to giving visibility to the art of ceramics. It's a great place to talk about, discover, touch, hear and see what's going on in the world of contemporary ceramics in all its diverse forms.
The artist(s) will benefit from an exhibition as part of the Andenne Contemporary Ceramics Festival, newly named ‘Perspectives’. It will be part of one of the 7 exhibitions of the Festival and will be shown in the Espace Muséal d'Andenne from 17 May to 15 June 2025.

The Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles is an Arts Centre, a catalyst of reference for contemporary Belgian creation and the artistic and cultural ecosystem in its transversality.
Through its resolutely deconsecrated and transdisciplinary programming, the Centre is mandated to disseminate and promote the work of artists based in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. Thus it promotes emerging and established approaches, from the peripheral to the established. It helps to stimulate co-productions and international partnerships, and to focus on the Belgian scene.
The artist will be given the opportunity to exhibit a work at the Galerie Talmart as part of the Hors-les-Murs Satellite programme organised by the Centre Wallinie-Bruxelles in Paris, starting in September 2025.
Luna-Isola Bersanetti is the winner of the Centre Wallonie Bruxelles-Paris (fr) award
