About us

As a visitor to Atelier in beeld you discover new artwork, meet the artists and witness their process up close. As an artist the open studio days are a convenient way of showing a (new) audience your work and your work environment.

On 6 and 7 May 2023, during Atelier in beeld 2023, you could peek inside over 1400 studios in Flanders and Brussels. More than 2,500 artists from various disciplines opened their doors to the audience. This resulted in an open studio weekend full of inspiring encounters, great conversations and unexpected discoveries.

The participating artists practise at least one of the following techniques: sculpture, collage, design, digital imaging, silversmith’s trade, film, photography, glass, graphics, graphic design, illustration, installation art, calligraphy, ceramics, mixed media, mosaics, painting, street art, drawing and/or textiles

What is a studio?

The studio is the place where visual works are created. It's a workplace where the creative process leaves its trail: paint brushes and splodges, pointed pencils and pencil shavings, looms and yarn, some leftover clay and a potter's wheel, a printing press and ink stains… Visitors can witness where and how the works are created.

Some artists work in a big warehouse, others in a vacant building, in a separate room at home, or simply at the kitchen table. It doesn’t matter, as long as it's your fixed working space!

Individual studios, group studios, collective studios, art academies' studios, organisations or health care institutions that organise studio activities... all can participate.
