The unmissable event in the North-West of Brussels: festival of street arts, circus, installations without words and 100% free.
An afternoon that goes beyond the borders of the channel and the language. A festival without words so that everyone understands each other. For the 18th edition of the festival, Archipel 19 and the Kroon have imagined a program that takes us back to the roots of our existence in a vegetable bath. We see acrobatic bushes in search of meaning, emptiness, nothingness, rocks that move, grass that dances and bodies that slide on the water.

Brussels Biennale of Eclectic Architecture (BBEA)
Join us over two weekends to explore Eclectic architecture in Brussels!
On the traces of eclectic architecture in Brussels!
Taking its inspiration from many different historical styles at the same time as upholding artistic creativity, the eclectic movement (1830-1914) was based on a vision of the city and architecture that brought together art, history and innovation. This heritage-blending movement fully took into account the diversity of its (re)sources, and ran parallel with a precise understanding of older architectural heritage and a desire to create unique and even iconic designs. It began against a background of unprecedented urban growth at a key moment for the capital city of the newly independent Belgium. The eclectic movement created a new urban look, developed around buildings that wanted to set themselves apart from each other, while at the same time all being involved in the expansion of the city.
This subtle combination of history and artistic freedom deserves to be put back into the spotlight to better appreciate the physiognomy of Brussels and also to inspire and enrich contemporary architecture and restoration!
Similar to the Brussels Neo-Classical Biennale (BBN), the Brussels Biennale of Eclectic Architecture (BBEA) will offer an unusual programme over two weekends in October 2023!
At the heart of the BBEA will be guided tours of the interiors of buildings not normally open to the public, offering unique opportunities to explore some of the most architecturally important heritage buildings in Brussels. These guided tours will be complemented by a variety of activities: outdoor guided tours, seminars, and activities for families with children, school groups and people with reduced mobility.
The BBEA will promote a flexible definition of Eclecticism, so as to include a wide diversity of architectural designs.

ARTONOV Festival
The ARTONOV Festival is inspired by the international Art Nouveau movement, both for its philosophy and its implementation, but also by the Japanese sensorial and multidisciplinary art. Its goal is to generate a convergence between the performing arts, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and creation in Art Nouveau and Art Deco houses and other venues of remarkable architecture in Brussels.
The philosophy of Art Nouveau and its venues, the starting point of our festival, lead us to in-depth research about the spaces of other periods while keeping a common thread: to awaken the senses in a common artistic gesture between performance and architecture.
The particularity of the festival lies in the unique multidisciplinary creations inspired by distinctive locations. It brings buildings and spaces to life and magnifies the ordinary by offering a different view of the city. It allows the rediscovery of heritage through a different experience. Architecture becomes part of the performance’s "ritual".
