Marie-Elisabeth Belpaire Building

2 July 2026 Brussels, Belgium

To celebrate the start of summer with a cultural touch, we are delighted to invite you to a special Cultural Happy Hour taking place on Thursday, 2 July, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Belpaire Building in Brussels.

On this occasion, Katrien Laenen and Laureline Soubry from the Platform Art by Commission at the Flemish Department of Culture, Youth and Media will offer two exclusive guided tours through the Belpaire Building, highlighting the artworks and artistic interventions commissioned specifically for the Belpaire Building. The Platform Art by Commission continuously works on the development of a policy framework for the professionalisation of the actors involved in Art by Commission projects. The goal is to promote the realisation of high-quality artworks in (semi-)public spaces in Flanders.
