Antwerp Art Weekend is generously supported by the City of Antwerp and Antwerp Art's members. But it truly is the collective efforts of all our partners, big and small, longstanding and new, that makes the Antwerp Art Weekend possible. Each partner shares a common bond—a profound love and appreciation for the arts. Together, we continue to cultivate a thriving art community and spark meaningful connections. And as we embark on another exciting edition of Antwerp Art Weekend, we'd like to introduce you to some of this year's partners.

Thanks to the players of the National Lottery and the National Lottery itself, we're able to elevate your Antwerp Art Weekend experience to new heights at the iconic M HKA Museum for Contemporary Art. Start your journey at our official Antwerp Art Weekend Info Point, nestled within the inspiring walls of M HKA. Here, you'll find everything you need to make the most of your four-day artistic adventure. We can't wait to welcome you and embark on this artistic journey together.

Their support is also pivotal in producing the new works of our Graduation Prize Laureates, shown on M HKA's sixth floor. Discover the new works by Charlotte Daniëlse and Marta Meers, made possible by their generous support, here.

Since 2018, our collaboration with Antwerp's renowned fashion house Arte, has been a celebration of creativity and artistic expression. With roots in graphic design and a relentless exploration of diverse art forms, Bertony Da Silva's directional aesthetic pushes boundaries and challenges conventions. One of the highlights of our collaboration with Arte is the creation of a limited edition tote bag for every Antwerp Art Weekend, meticulously designed by Vrints-Kolsteren. More than just a fashion accessory, these tote bags serve as an extension of our visual campaign, offering visitors a tangible and enduring connection to the essence of Antwerp Art Weekend.

Located in close proximity to many participating venues, a visit to Arte's store is not just an option—it's a must for anyone seeking to immerse themselves in the vibrant cultural tapestry of Antwerp.

Teaming up with Vitra adds an extra layer of inspiration to the Antwerp Art Weekend experience. Their innovative and timeless designs have a profound impact on the design industry, making it a privilege to collaborate with such a renowned brand. This year, the collaboration takes shape through a dedicated Vitra Lounge at our central hub and info point at M HKA. Conceived as a resting spot and meeting place, the lounge invites you to pause during your art-filled weekend — take a seat in the Anagram Sofa and read an exhibition text, recharge, or simply connect in a thoughtfully designed environment.

To explore more of Vitra’s world, visit the Vitra Partner Store in the heart of Antwerp, where you’ll find a curated selection of their iconic and contemporary designs.

WOLF is housed in the iconic Felix Pakhuis, a historic Antwerp warehouse transformed into a vibrant food market where more than 10 diverse kitchens come together under one roof. With over 270 dishes inspired by flavours from around the world, WOLF offers far more than a meal—it is a place to gather, discover, and share, whether over street food favourites or refined cuisine.

For Antwerp Art Weekend, WOLF collaborates with Objects With Narratives to present a solo exhibition by Marius Ritiu titled My Boat Is Bent. Activating the monumental architecture of Felix Pakhuis, Ritiu transforms the space into an immersive environment of large-scale hand-hammered copper sculptures that both affirm and destabilize the grandeur of this iconic setting.The installation features three monumental works: bent, ascending, and suspended forms that inhabit the space like fragments of another logic—a vessel marked by pressure, a stairway resisting structure, and a swing suspended between movement and stillness. Together, they create a landscape where monumentality becomes unstable and the absurd feels unexpectedly precise.

This collaboration also reconnects with WOLF’s own history: Ritiu designed and crafted the bar that has helped define the venue since its beginning. Whether you are starting your day before gallery visits, meeting friends between exhibitions, or ending the evening over dinner and drinks, WOLF turns every stop into something worth savouring.
