Nestled in a former power station in the heart of Brussels, Centrale for contemporary art is the contemporary art centre of the City of Brussels.
It develops a committed vision of art, beyond boundaries, and connected to the city and to society.
Each year it collaborates with confirmed and emerging artists from Brussels and the international scene to produce exhibitions and multidisciplinary projects housed in its various premises.

Since 2021, Centrale | vitrine, at 13 rue Sainte-Catherine, showcases the projects of four artists selected through an annual open call.

Centrale also works with Brussels’ art schools. Since 2017 it has offered residencies to students enrolled in the CARE Master – exploring the plural practices of exhibition making – initiated with the Académie royale des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles. In addition, in July 2020, the first edition of the Brussels Videonline Festival, organised in partnership with seven Brussels-based art schools, broadcast the films of twenty-one recently graduated art students. The festival is now held every two years in February.

Stemming from the visual arts, Centrale expands its programme with performances, concerts, art film screenings, meetings, debates, and more. Priority is given to partnering with other local and international cultural institutions.

People, audiences, are at the heart of Centrale’s missions: everyone – art lovers and neophytes, individuals and school groups, associations and families – can discover artworks and activities, be it a guided tour, a workshop, participation in a work in progress, etc.

Centrale’s mediation team offers specific attention to the needs of organisations and school groups in order to create tailor-made activities in relation to the exhibitions. The MOODBOARD, visible at the reception of Centrale, reveals a part of the mediation work happening both in situ and with the neighborhood.

Centrale is ultimately a comprehensive cultural project, the project of a capital city, a project for everyone, artists and audiences.

Far from constituting a mausoleum that would contribute to the canonisation of the pa-ma-trimonial heritage of French-speaking Belgian culture, the Centre, alias the vessel, is a non-prescriptive venue with an experiential vocation, a catalyst of reference for so-called Belgian contemporary creation and the artistic ecosystem in its transversality.

Through its resolutely de-anctuarising and a-trans-disciplinary programming, the Centre is mandated to disseminate and promote the work of artists based in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. It thus promotes emerging or confirmed talent, from the peripheral to the established. It helps to stimulate international co-productions and partnerships and to focus attention on the Belgian scene.

Each season, the Centre unveils artistic approaches that demonstrate the irreducibility of the porous territories of contemporary creation to a common denominator. Located in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, its programming is spread over more than 1,000 m2. A decentralised Belgian vessel, in addition to its In-Situ programming, it also implements Off-Wall programming and invests cyberspace as a territory for creation and propagation with dedicated content.

The CID – centre for innovation and design at Grand-Hornu aims to promote contemporary design through a programme of exhibitions and mediation activities, highlighting innovation, experimental research, the emergence of new themes and horizons for research in design, architecture and graphic art. By presenting the diversity of these creative domains, the CID raises the public’s awareness of a culture of design and architecture. It questions, studies and explains this culture through a dialogue with creators, researchers and also the public.

The central value of innovation at the CID is understood as a departure from our habitual ways of seeing, thinking and working. To innovate is to accept change. It is about reaching into the shock zone described by Raymond Loewy in Never Leave Well Enough Alone, breaking out of our certitudes and comfort zone to incorporate innovation into our daily lives.

The CID aims to reflect our current society, by programming and producing three to five exhibitions each year, On the one hand, they echo individual practices and research through monograph exhibitions dedicated to Belgian or international designers, and on the other, thematic exhibitions develop a narrative thread that invites us to dream up and invent utopias. An entire mediation programme is organised around the exhibitions to enable these discoveries to be shared with the public, specialist or otherwise, attaching great importance to the adaptation of our visits and visitors).

A museum and space for art and creation dedicated to ceramics, Keramis was built on the site of the old Boch faience factory in La Louvière. Its bold, contemporary architecture incorporates an old listed building that contains three giant bottle kilns, the last of their kind in Belgium.

Keramis holds the collections of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, the SRIW and the Province of Hainaut, and these pieces are supplemented by gifts and long-term loans from private collections such as that belonging to the Boch Keramis Foundation.

The collections also contain archived documents and testimonies as part of our work to help protect the artistic and archival heritage of the old Boch Frères Keramis factory in La Louvière.
