ART DAY

TheMerode Art Day, is a dynamic cultural moment that brings exhibitions, talks, and curated encounters into the heart of TheMerode.

By concentrating a series of art-led experiences into one carefully curated day, this format creates a singular destination – offering a stage for ideas that challenge conventions, while opening a space for exchange, perspective, and discovery.

Reflecting TheMerode’s place within today’s contemporary art scene, Art Day is an opportunity to experience the Club’s current exhibitions and engage in conversations led by internationally recognised artists, curators, and critics.

For its second edition, TheMerode Art Day brings together exhibitions, artist encounters, performances, screenings and conversations throughout the Club. Part of RendezVous – Brussels Art Week, the day marks the opening of our cultural season and brings some of the most exciting voices in contemporary art under one roof. For one day, TheMerode opens its doors to everyone.
