New locations that will boost Brussels

A stone's throw from its bigger brother (the hybrid venue Reset) and the Cathedral of Saint Michael and Saint Gudula, Reset atelier has injected its creativity in a building with post-modern lines. A veritable showcase for Brussels' effervescence, this temporary occupation project thrives day and night with shows, exhibitions, festive evenings, designer markets and workshops. Around its light-filled Agora, you'll find some twenty resident artists' studios and a series of cultural offices. It's a merry mix that acts as a catalyst for creativity, encounters and collaborations. Their goal is to create a genuine cultural community!  

An art gallery, an artists' residence, a shared studio or an exhibition space? Housed in the vast industrial complex of the former ATOMA factories, the Espace Constantin Chariot is a hybrid space, championing vibrant creativity that is also invented on site. Founded by Constantin Chariot, the former director of the Royal Valérie Bach Gallery, this new space dedicates its walls to modern Belgian art from the post-war period to the present day and does not shy away from exploring the world of design, fashion and drawing. We particularly like its penchant for the field of Contemporary Crafts, combining traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary approach, and producing works that have both body and heart. This new venue in Forest hosts a new exhibition every two months. 

A brown bar in the Marolles district given a futuristic makeover to bring out the best in local DJs? That's Gimic, Brussels' new radio bar. With its penchant for underground culture, this atypical venue brings together more than 60 residents around a DJ booth with an already legendary design. From breakbeat to techno, Gimic explores the electro galaxy with real energy. Check out their programme from Wednesday to Sunday, as well as their talks and podcasts, which bring together artists, collectives and lovers of great music.
