The miracle of detail – Jan Van Eyk’s work in high resolution
Expo Facing Van Eyck at BOZAR
30/10/20-14/02/20
Man – nature – architecture – light – technique.

Everything here is about details — a feature that is typical of Jan Van Eyck. It’s frustrating for visitors. In a museum a rope will stop them from admiring a painting up close.

Meet Bart Fransen, curator of the Exhibition: Facing Van Eyck. The Miracle of Detail who works at the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage which has conducted a research project on Jan van Eyck’s complete work, documenting it in extremely high resolution.

Celebrate International Artists Day!

For over a decade International Artist Day has honored the contribution artists have and are making to society.
Participate in something creative outside your daily routine.
Live Life!

Join our creatives community

Artists enrich our lives and society in so many ways. It is important to recognize the contributions of artists around the world. There are so many famous artists from virtually every corner of the world.

So, just who is an artist? Painters and sculptors are usually the first people that come to mind. But, there are many other art fields, including: acting, dancing, photographers, writers, musicians, poets, and digital artists, to name a few. There are certainly plenty more artistic and creative fields. So, let's use today to celebrate all artists around the world.

Celebrate International Artist Day by recognizing artists in your community. Take an active role and support them, if possible. Spend a little time today, to appreciate all of the art that surrounds you.

Music is a philosophy, rich in ideas that language cannot say!

Music’s lessons teach us that our questions are limited only by our curiosity and imagination.
We match the mollification of a lullaby when we talk to children; we summon our inner anthem to rouse team spirit with workmates.
Music is a Socratic teacher. Its melodies, modulations and rhythms steer us away from linear thinking and towards nuance.

The art of musical thinking offers a perspective and a context for composing our experiences. It provides a philosophical foundation that embraces dissonance alongside harmony, and casts sound and silence as equal protagonists in a democracy, where the realisation that dualities such as tension and consensus coexist is a core tenet of a vibrantly realised life.

Musical thinking offers a means for composing our lives and a philosophical foundation that embraces both sound and silence

EU Creative & Cultural Sector Guarantee Facility increased to 251 million euros!

The Guarantee Facility under receives additional support from the European Commission and the European Investment Fund in the context of the corona crisis. The cultural sector has been hit hard by the consequences of this crisis.

The Commission expects that the additional EUR 121 million will guarantee some EUR 600 million in bank loans in the creative and cultural sector (CCS) over the next 6 years.
The guarantee ensures that SMEs from CCS can receive debt financing more quickly because the European Union guarantees part of the loan.
