Vanhaerents Art Collection
The Vanhaerents Art Collection is a leading family collection of contemporary art, featuring works from the late 1970s to today. By bringing emerging talents into dialogue with established artists who inspired them, the collection maintains a strong connection with the most current developments in the art world.
Housed in a former industrial site from 1926 in Brussels’ Dansaert district, the collection — built by Walter, Els and Joost Vanhaerents — has grown into a unique and influential ensemble spanning painting, sculpture, installation, photography, video and other contemporary media.
For its tenth anniversary, the Vanhaerents Art Collection introduced an innovative presentation model: the viewing depot. In this more than 3,500 m² space, aesthetics, storage and collection care converge. Visitors are offered a rare behind-the-scenes experience and discover the richness of nearly four decades of collecting.

Cloud Seven - Frédéric de Goldschmidt Collection
Cloud Seven is a coworking, exhibition and residential hub located in downtown Brussels’ fashion and design district. The space spans over seven floors and 1,500 square meters, and provides a coworking facility with a bar, meeting rooms, a multimedia room, a wellness center, exhibition spaces, a diverse cultural program, and private apartments for rental. Cloud Seven's aim is to bring a diverse and dynamic group of creative individuals together within a space that propels art into the office and home, and to inspire a culture that encourages collaboration.
Cloud Seven is home to the Frédéric de Goldschmidt collection, which consists mostly of works by emerging artists in dialogue with pieces from historical movements in the 1960s and 70s including the Zero Group, Arte Povera, conceptual and minimal art. On one hand, many works in the collection explore reduced aesthetics with a great sensitivity to humble materials. On the other hand, a distinctive set of sober, geometric and monochromatic abstraction, such as the grid, are present. Themes of delegation, process, chance, combinatory, poetic language that critically describe the oddities in the world are considered in a large portion of the collection.
Opening Hours Exhibition Space: Tuesday - Saturday 14:00-18:00 (Extended schedule during temporary exhibitions)
Opening Hours Coworking Space: Monday to Friday 09:00-18:00

La Loge
La Loge is a Brussels-based space dedicated to contemporary art, architecture and theory founded by architect Philippe Rotthier. Its aim is to develop a high-quality program that plays a critical role in today’s cultural conversations through specific and precise projects. Architects, artists, curators and cultural agents are invited to develop propositions in which they seek out the characteristic and the peculiar within their practices.
La Loge is a space where ideas, discussion and presentation coexist. Public formats vary depending on the project; from exhibitions, symposiums, screenings, lectures, and performances to events’ series. Its identity is drawn from the architectural gem that houses it, as well as from the commitment and concerns of its founders. La Loge values engagement of thought and feels particularly interested in exploring questions of space, habitat and use. The small-scale format of La Loge contributes to a context where intimate and direct conversations with its audience and the diversity of protagonists it invites can be initiated and sustained.

Fondation CAB
CAB is a private centre dedicated to contemporary art. It promotes that genre by holding art projects in a splendid Art Deco exhibition space located not far from Flagey. CAB supports artists by giving them visibility in a place that’s neither an institution nor a gallery. It organises two projects a year, from September to December and from April to June, inviting a curator from a museum or gallery, Belgian or international. With its projects, CAB wants to encourage dialogue and inform the public about the emerging art scene.
