About us

Bozar, the Centre for Fine Arts’ cultural project, offers a dynamic and diversified cultural programme of concerts and exhibitions: a multidisciplinary approach in which debates, theatre, cinema, literature and other disciplines meet to reflect on the connections between art and society. — The Centre for Fine Arts aims to be a European cultural centre, anchored in the 21st century, with a novel and innovative view of society, a laboratory of ideas attuned to society’s current and future challenges. In the coming decade, Bozar aims to embody change, and contribute to seven major and evolving societal challenges. Sitting atop Coudenberg Hill, monumental and yet discreet, the Brussels Centre for Fine Arts is Belgium’s major cultural venue. In 1913, Queen Elisabeth and King Albert I expressed their desire to build “a temple devoted to Music and the Arts”. Designed by renowned Belgian architect Victor Horta (1861-1947), construction began after the First World War. Upon returning from his stay in the United States, Horta abandoned his flamboyant, industrial Art Nouveau style for the more monumental and geometric language of Art Deco. Inaugurated in 1928, the Centre for Fine Arts is a testimony to this aesthetic revolution. For nearly a century, the centre has hosted the art world’s crème de la crème, and it is where most of Bozar’s cultural and artistic activities are held.

    Love is Louder ❤️ The exhibition has officially opened! The past seven days our visitors came in numerously to explore the many facets of love, its tensions, and its various forms. Navigating between the personal and the political, the exhibition zooms in on three dimensions of love: romantic love, kinship and friendship, and love in a broader social context. Remarkable! ✨ This exhibition brings together work of 80 national and international artists in a wide range of media such as painting, sculpture, video, film and multimedia installations. 🫶 In times of increasing polarization, the exhibition focuses on what connects us, because: Love is louder. Open now, until 5 Jan.'25 via https://lnkd.in/e5ujT6S3 💌 With the support of Vlaamse overheid, European Union with NextGenerationEU, FUNDACION ALMINE Y BERNARD RUIZ-PICASSO PARA EL ARTE, Embassy of Germany in Brussels , Embassy of Brazil in Brussels, Instituto Guimarães Rosa, Embassy of Spain in Brussels (SPAIN arts & culture) Permanent Representation of Estonia to the European Union.

    All you need is love! ❤️ This week, our patrons and partners were invited to a private visit of Bozar’s latest exhibition, Love is Louder! Love, a universal and unique emotion is what this exhibition explores in all its complexity. Intimes of increasing polarisation, it is essential to focus on what brings us closer together. After an engaging guided tour, and an inspiring speech by Zoe Gray, our guests enjoyed a delightful reception in the Horta Hall, allowing everyone to (re)connect and extend the evening's festivities. 🫶 We warmly thank our patrons and partners for their presence and their continued support. For more information about our patrons, feel free to reach out to our team at maecenasrelations@bozar.be For more information about corporate private expo tours, please contact corpo@bozar.be #bozarbrussels #expoloveislouder #meaningfulrelations

    Thanks to our partner Proximus for providing ice creams for the first 1.000 visitors at Bozar’s family day 🍦 Their generosity added the perfect scoop to our Opening Week and the artisanal ice cream from Le Petit Nuage was the perfect sweet treat for the children and their parents after a Dadadisco in the Henry le Boeuf hall.    💜 Bozar is proud of the long-standing partnership with Proximus. This collaboration strengthens the emotional bonds that are forged when people come together around projects that are close to their hearts.
