Muziekpublique
Muziekpublique, keeps music and dance traditions alive and kicking in Brussels through an ambitious programme of concerts, courses, and projects. A year-round concert programme, featuring Belgian and international artists, forms the core of the foundation’s activities. From the contemplative to the madly festive concerts take place indoors, in the small Molière Theatre, in the arcade at the Porte de Namur and outdoors, around the city and throughout the year.
Muziekpublique is currently undergoing renovations, and some of its activities are being hosted by other venues in Brussels.

Stems Gallery
Stems Gallery is an emerging gallery based in Brussels and Paris. The gallery opened in 2015 by sister and brother Pascaline and Guillaume Smets.
The gallery exhibits the work of emerging artists, with a particular focus on introducing contemporary American artists to European audiences. Highlighting works in all mediums and formats, including painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video, and installation, the gallery’s program is driven by intuition and curiosity rather than any rigidly defined criteria.
Each exhibition is the result of a close collaboration between the gallery and the artist or curator, allowing artists to communicate their individual creative visions and to witness the energy and dynamism of the Belgian art scene. Also, offering them an international recognition by the participation in various important fairs.
In October 2020 Stems moved to a new location in a historical building in the heart of Brussels, in the former cantine of the Solvay laboratories. Most recently, Stems Gallery opened a new location at 11 rue Pastourelle in the heart of the Marais in Paris inaugurated with a solo show by French-American artist Pharaoh Kakudji “Tear A Part, Torn A Part”.

Cinéma Vendôme
A temple of cinema in the heart of Matonge, the Vendôme cinema has been welcoming generations of film aficionados to its screening rooms for over 50 years. Many remember its legendary ushers.
True to its beautiful slogan, "Cultivate emotion", this Brussels institution stands for auteur films and cultural diversity, above all. A pioneer of quality cinema, the Vendôme has made the success of many films that have entered into film legend (such as Satyricon or Last Tango in Paris). In the 1970s, its new screening rooms were inaugurated by Sophia Loren herself! A move and a handful of years later, the spirit of discovery and the family atmosphere of the Vendôme are still in full swing at 18 Chaussée de Wavre.
At the cinema, comfort is king. At Le Vendôme, savour the pleasures of the Seventh Art from the depths of a Pullman chair.

Archiraar Gallery - Black Cube
Archiraar Gallery was founded in 2012 by Alexis Rastel. As an architect, he joins his spatial practice with artistic research. The Gallery represents artists from the upcoming generation and plans on long time collaborations. It shows paintings, drawings, sculptures, pictures, videos and installations.
The Gallery’s White Cube was opened in Brussels in 2013. Ideology of a neutral space, this volume of 3x3x9 meters questions our contemporary habits of showing art. The Black Cube, opened in 2014, is its complementary space. Its enclosed space suggests an intimate perception of the work. Between 2013 and 2015, with parallel solo shows, artists represented by the gallery have shown in both spaces.
Starting 2016, the Gallery will be intersecting the spaces’ programs and inviting curators and artists to participate in group shows. In addition, the Gallery publishes and promotes artists’ works. With each show, Archiraar houses resonating artistic projects.
