- Want to open your studio for one or two days? The choice is yours— not all studios open for both days. The opening hours are from 11 AM to 6 PM.

- And most importantly, participation in Atelier in Beeld is completely free.
A few conditions
Atelier in Beeld is open to all visual artists aged 18 and older with a studio in Flanders or Brussels. Whether you are a beginner or advanced, professional or non-professional, young or old, the open studio days offer an accessible way to showcase your work and workspace to a (new) audience.
As a participating artist, you work in one or more of the following techniques: sculpture, collage, design, digital art, jewelry-making, film, photography, glass art, printmaking, graphic design, installation art, illustration, calligraphy, ceramics, mixed media, mosaic, painting, street art, drawing, or textile art. We base these categories on the techniques taught at visual arts academies.
What is a studio?
Where do you usually create your visual art? The answer to that question is your studio.
Simply put, a studio is the place where visual art is made and where you can see traces of the creative process. Think, for example, of brushes and splatters of paint, sharpened pencils and pencil shavings, looms and yarn, bits of clay and a pottery wheel, a printing press and ink stains… It’s the place where future visitors can see where and how your work comes to life.
Some artists work in a large warehouse, a separate room at home, an empty building, or even just at the kitchen table.
