About us

During this inspiring weekend, more than 2,000 visual artists open their doors. Visitors can explore unique workspaces, meet the makers, and be surprised by their creations.

More than ever, the studio is a necessary place of calm and imagination. In a hyper-nervous society that constantly vibrates with stimuli and speed, the studio offers a counterpoint. A place where slowness is allowed and where hands do the thinking. Atelier in beeld highlights these spaces—not just as workrooms, but as sanctuaries, as moments to breathe, as spaces to process what outside moves too fast.

This is the perfect opportunity to open your studio and share your passion with the public. Atelier in beeld 2026 takes place on May 2 & 3, 2026. Registrations run from January 6 to 30, 2026 via the registration form on this website. Want to be the first to know?

Atelier in beeld is open to all visual artists aged 18 and older with a studio in Flanders or Brussels, from beginners to professionals, young and old(er).

You may work in one or more of the following disciplines:
sculpture, collage, design, digital art, goldsmithing, film, photography, glass art, printmaking, graphic design, installation art, illustration, calligraphy, ceramics, mixed media, mosaic, painting, street art, drawing, or textiles.
We base this on the disciplines offered at visual arts academies.

Simply put, a studio is the place where you create your visual work, where the creative process is visible.
It can be a large warehouse, a room in your home, an empty building, or even your kitchen table.

A studio breathes creativity: paintbrushes with traces of paint, sharpened pencils, clay scraps, threads, ink stains… It’s the place where visitors can see how and where art is made.

Both individual studios, group studios, collectives, as well as part-time art education studios, organizations, or care institutions with studio programs can participate.
