This event is part of the international visitors' program UFO #3 organized by Flanders Arts Institute and UFO, a platform of artists' studios in Flanders and Brussels. The program introduces international professionals to forms of support and development for artists in Flanders.
Each guest curator will give a presentation about his/her/their organisation after which we will dive into their knowledge and network in smaller groups. Please note that all conversations will take place in English.
