aquilaluna is a contemporary art gallery founded in November 2016 and run by Cécile de Froidmont, an honorary lawyer and collector.

The gallery promotes contemporary artists, for the most part living, who devote themselves entirely to their art.

The choice of artists is guided as much by emotion as by the seriousness of their work and the coherence of their discourse and artistic approach.

The gallery's approach is abstract and organic, but always resolutely contemporary.

The first exhibitions were organised extra muros, in venues chosen specifically for the artist to be presented (abbey, former manor house, cellars, etc.). Most were solo exhibitions, which allowed visitors to immerse themselves in the world of each artist.

Since the end of 2019, the gallery has moved to the former village of Dalhem (BE), between Liège (BE) and Maastricht (NL). It organises regular solo and duo exhibitions there.

BeCraft is a professional association promoting Applied Arts in the Wallonia and Brussels regions. Ceramics, glass, jewellery, paper, textile, object design are, among others, the creative fields of the makers who are supported and promoted by it. BeCraft works in relationship with the WCC Europe, within the global structure of the World Crafts Council. Four main topics motivate BeCraft’s actions: support and promotion, in Belgium and abroad, of its member artists; information and training for the public and craft professionals through exhibitions, conferences, workshops and guided tours.

The BeCraft Gallery is a showcase for the most recent creations of the member artists, always more innovative and daring. The rigour with which the works are selected and presented does not hinder the conviviality of the place, conducive to a tasting of tea in handmade bowls.

Special attention is paid to the makers of tomorrow. With this in mind, the association organises annually the exhibition Tremplin, a competition for newly graduated students from the art schools of Wallonia and Brussels. The exhibition of their graduation works reveals a new landscape of Belgian creation in full exploration, while giving them a professional boost thanks to the Prizes awarded on this occasion.

Numerous international exhibitions, organised in collaboration with other institutions, take place on its premises and are exported abroad afterwards. By offering the public and the artists the opportunity to contemplate the works of makers from all countries, BeCraft contributes to fostering dialogue, stimulation and the emulation of the Applied Arts.

Its participation in international exhibitions and fairs also confirms this goal by promoting artistic exchanges between Belgian and foreign creation while allowing its member artists to enjoy recognition across Europe.

​​The Christine Colon gallery's programme focuses mainly on painting and sculpture.

The gallery, founded in 2006, has two members in its team: Christine Colon and her son, Pierre Hubeaux-Colon. In addition to its original artists, the gallery is seeking to expand into new types of work tinged with critical reflexivity. These new artists question both the status of the art object, and how it is received by the public, and the impact of creation on the entity responsible for artistic expression.

In 1991, Pierre Passebon opened the Galerie du Passage in the Vero-Dodat gallery. His success and his style quickly made him known, allowing people to rediscover Jouve’s ceramics, Royère’s furniture, Noll’s sculptures or Gio Ponti’s furniture and earthenware.

For several years now, Pierre Passebon has been collecting 20th Century design pieces in his gallery and regularly exhibits at the Paris Biennial or the PAD in London.

“What I like about Pierre is the lightness and freshness of his taste and choices,” says Karl Lagerfeld. “He knows how to create the atmosphere of an elegant and bohemian past. The way he mixes things is never classic - it’s always done in the spirit of the present.”

Fontana reflects on the state of contemporary art today, seeking to demonstrate how the world appears – despite its, sometimes, sharp edges and dystopian character.

The gallery embraces all art media. The main themes informing Fontana's program are humanity, vulnerability, and mortality.

Fontana's current permanent gallery space is a former chocolate factory of 300 sqm covering two floors on the Lauriergracht, having also shared spaces in Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels and Paris.

Their long-term ambition is to bring together captivating and engaging individuals through art-related projects around the world, merging various networks in the exuberant way that typifies our gallery. Craftsmanship as formed by both the art and the artist is appealing to them in its language of material, provenance, and making.

With a strong emphasis on emerging artists, Galerie Grès likes to surprise with new programming and alternative identities.

It likes the decompartmentalisation and experimentation that the crossing of disciplines allows. It likes the idea of a medium whose specific technicality does not exclude artists from their careers. It gives pride of place to exchanges and reflections, ad-hoc projects, residencies, plural and singular expressions... with the special support of a gallery owner who knows the material, its plasticity and its firings through her own practice.

Attached to form, she considers the material to be at the service of form. The sculptor is a painter.

In October 2001 Jacques Cerami opened a contemporary art gallery. Located in Couillet, the gallery organises five exhibitions a year from September to July, with monographic, collective or thematic projects. 

The aim is to present art in all its diversity, with a mix of different artistic disciplines (painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, photography, installation, video). The exhibition features artists who are close to the concerns of their time, and whose research questions our society. 

Considering openness to the outside world to be essential, it has set itself the goal of promoting young talent both nationally and internationally by helping them to find exhibition projects in galleries, art centres and museums. And in particular by taking part in Contemporary Art Fairs.   

The concern for the link between art and society is one of the constant themes in the work of the Galerie Jacques Cerami.

At the heart of "galerie La La Lande" lies the evocative power of dreams and utopia. Established in 2018, the gallery is not just a space but an embodiment of aspirations, beginnings, and creative eruptions. Its very name echoes a lineage of dreamers, of artists who challenge the ordinary and flirt with the ethereal.

La La Lande is particularly notable for its dedication to emergent artists hailing from the MENA region and Asia. By providing a platform for these talents, the gallery bridges cultures, narratives, and perspectives. The art forms are diverse – from paintings and sculptures to intricate tapestries and thought-provoking video installations.

Regularly marking its presence at global art fairs, galerie La La Lande is not just about showcasing art but creating dialogues, challenging perceptions, and fostering growth. It's where dreams are not just envisioned but realised, and where every artwork is a testament to the gallery's commitment to innovation, diversity, and depth.

143 years of existence, 143 years of expertise, deep knowledge of objects, good taste and eye, exchanges with museum curators and unfailing links forged with private collectors. Immobilism not being appropriate, the members of the Lefebvre family have been able to discover and offer ever more specialised objects and works to an international clientele, and this since 1880.

It is therefore quite natural that the Galerie Lefebvre & Fils began in 2009 to take a fresh look at ceramics, and in particular contemporary ceramics, with the desire to show that this medium has a real permanence and that it renews itself. non-stop.

Since 2009, Galerie Lefebvre & Fils - thanks to its director, Louis Lefebvre, an informed collector of contemporary art and design - has presented the works of great contemporary artists such as Ettore Sottsass, Ron Nagle and more recently Roger Herman and José Sierra, but it also endeavours to promote the young artistic scene with exhibitions by Nick Weddell, Miguel Ortega Delgado and Emily Yong Beck, which offered them each their first solo-show in Europe. The gallery is resolutely committed today to contemporary creation alongside international contemporary artists.

From the practical and everyday objects of previous centuries, we are now faced with works of art in the first sense of the term. If the gesture persists, the artistic significance is quite different. The idea of ​​container or domestic object disappears in favour of a dialogue between the artist who models it with his hands and the artistic intention he gives.

Drawing on his knowledge and mastery of ceramics, Louis Lefebvre has made his exhibition space a must for lovers and collectors of contemporary ceramics. Galerie Lefebvre & Fils is located at 24 rue du Bac, in the heart of the Paris of curators and art and design collectors.

Since 1999, the GALERIE MARIA LUND (Paris, le Marais) has been supporting forms of contemporary art that combine conceptual depth and visual relevance. This positioning involves the promotion of powerful works that suggest a meaning rather than imposing one, raising existential questions in a contemporary way.

The work of the 23 represented artists encompasses a great diversity of media: installations, sculptures, paintings, drawings, photography, performance, videos, textiles and poetry. In addition to organising exhibitions in its gallery space and taking part in various French and international fairs (KIAF Seoul, Drawing Now, Asia Now, Art Paris, Enter Art Fair (Copenhagen), Luxembourg Art Week), the gallery also works to promote its artists visibility outside its walls, by means of relationships with institutions and private establishments, playing an advisory role for commissioned works, publishing books and hosting events from other artistic fields (theatre, music, literature).

Since 2001, Galerie Michel Giraud has been located on the Left Bank in Paris, in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Près, one of the most renowned neighbourhoods for Art Deco. It has thus found its place among the most prestigious galleries showcasing this period. Michel Giraud wanted to make his gallery a favourite spot for collectors: he recreated the atmosphere of a 1930s collector's home, sharing his discoveries and passions on a daily basis or on the occasion of an exhibition.

Ceramics occupy a special place in the gallery's artistic programme, highlighting the modern period with artists such as Émile Decœur, for whom we produced his landmark monograph in 2008, and Jean Besnard, whose work we have been particularly active in promoting over the last 20 years. The gallery also pays special attention to ceramics from the second half of the 20th century, with major artists such as Pierre Bayle, as well as painter-sculptors who have worked in this art form, such as Antonio Recalcati and Claude Goutin.

Founded in 2011 in the Marais in Paris, Galerie Sator promotes the work of emerging and developing international artists.

The gallery is characterised by its strong emphasis on visual art that references other forms of art and a range of fields of thought – politics, history, history of art, literature, philosophy and science – which seek to question the place of the human in the world and offer tools for critical reflection on contemporary societies, their evolution and their transformation, and their territorial relationships.

An ongoing investigation of the image and the production of plastic forms complete the gallery’s approach. Resolutely international, the gallery promotes the work of artists from both France and throughout the world (including Russian-American, Swiss, Togolese, Iranian, and Greek artists), with a particular speciality in artists on the Asian contemporary scene from China, Korea and Vietnam.

Today spread over two spaces in the heart of Saint-Germain des Prés, at 35 and 41 rue de Seine, it adjoins the Art Déco gallery founded in 1971 by Robert and Cheska Vallois.

Ceramics occupy a special place in the gallery's programming. They thus represent a certain number of ceramists or artists practicing ceramics: Philippe Brodzki (Belgium), Yuri Kuper (Russia) Paloma Chang (Taiwan), Mark Brusse (Netherlands), Tania Antoshina (Russia), King Houndekpinkou ( France/Benin)…

Gallery Sofie Van den Bussche is an art gallery for Belgian (and international) contemporary art in Brussels that is dedicated to promoting both emerging and renowned artists who are close to Sofie’s heart.

She is very careful to ensure that every exhibition is different and shows a different perspective on contemporary art. Her starting point is always to let the artist and his or her work shine, each with his or her own story. Curating the exhibition is her passion and force of the gallery. This can be done through solo, duo and group exhibitions, from abstract to figurative, from painting to sculpture. She also strongly believes that a confrontation/dialogue between the older and younger generation creates a fascinating dynamic. She is aiming for at least six or seven exhibitions a year. Gallery Sofie Van den Bussche wants to offer a fascinating platform where artists, art lovers, art collectors and curious visitors can meet.

Thanks to the success of their two galleries in Paris, art collectors since always, Roger Nilsson and Alain Chiglien have developed a unique expertise over the years. Today they are highly respected for what rapidly came to be their speciality : ceramic sculptures as fine art, inscribed in a dynamic, both technical and formal innovation.

Their commitment to promote ceramic as a material has also been supported by many international museums and institutions, in which most of gallery NeC artists are represented. Nobody can doubt that the public is particularly receptive to the modernity that these artists have made in a few decades by their exceptional creativity, in the world of fine arts.

Other medias like photographies, painting, vidéos, and kinetic art are also represented by the gallery.

Guido Romero Pierini and Tristan Paprocki join forces in 2020 to found the Romero Paprocki Gallery, representing contemporary rising and mid-career french and international artists. For the gallery, settings support any given discourse that highlights the artist’s work as well as his thoughts, the revelation of a shape, its dialogue, its structure of meaning and its articulation.

The gallery has to be a unique spacetime, equally favourable to reflection and contemplation, to exchange as much as to introspection.

The represented ceramicists come from a rising generation of independent makers who find inspiration in cross pollinating heritage with contemporary global trends.

THE SECOND ACT is a young contemporary gallery with roots in the North of England born out of a frustration in the lack of opportunities for Northern and working class artists, and for artists living outside major cities. 

They are addressing the disparity in the representation of artists, by supporting marginalised artists and challenging the status quo that has become the accepted standard in artist-gallery relationships, through a value-led approach.

They choose to work with artists who make contemporary art with challenging concepts, narratives and research; creating a roster of individuals who they believe, should all have the opportunity to write their own Second Act.
