Festival des Arts - Brussels in May

By Emilia Despa in Brussels  |  2 years ago  |  0 comments

Festival des Arts has just begun! 

Kunstenfestivaldesarts takes place in dozens of welcoming Brussels theatres and art houses for 3 weeks every May.

Kunstenfestivaldesarts features performing arts and visual arts, by Dutch- and French-speaking, Western and non-Western artists.

Kunstenfestivaldesarts is a festival dedicated to new creations, intended for artists with a personal outlook on the world and spectators willing to question their own views.

Kunstenfestivaldesarts is a cosmopolitan city festival. We are increasingly becoming part of a complex network of communities that cross and redefine national, linguistic and cultural borders. The city is the environment "par excellence" in which this cosmopolitan society can be seen.

Kunstenfestivaldesarts takes place in Brussels, the only city in Belgium where the country's two largest communities live together. Several Flemish- and French-speaking institutions are involved in the project. Fundamentally conceived as a bilingual undertaking, it contributes to encouraging dialogue between the communities living in the city.
