The city of Antwerp is widely known for its rich cultural heritage. From Gothic and Renaissance periods to contemporary designs, our cityscape showcases an inspiring blend of old and new.

Contemporary art is the mirror we hold up to our society, where we visualize our woes and dive into the signs of our times, making a record of what moves us collectively. The exhibitions and events in this selection directly respond to, reflect on, or address societal issues, political themes, or carry a social urgency, all through different forms of art.

Every Antwerp Art Weekend, we present an OFF program that spotlights temporary exhibitions and initiatives by artists, galleries, and institutions that are not regular Antwerp Art members, highlighting Antwerp's vibrant art scene that is forever in flux.

Let’s face it, the people of Antwerp have great taste. Even if every street feels like a patchwork quilt, around every corner elements of architectural interest can be found. The Antwerp Art Weekend program is stacked with interesting exhibitions, but sometimes the buildings that house them merit equal attention. Included in this selection are spaces that, besides hosting excellent exhibitions, stand out for their architectural qualities.
