Kunstplaats Vonk is a non-profit arts organization that enhances the development of visual and transdisciplinary performance artists, aiming to build sustainable professional careers.
Mission / Vision
Located in Belgium, in the cities of Hasselt and Genk, Kunstplaats Vonk offers workspaces for more than 40 promising artists each year. These workspaces are for short term fully paid and supported residencies, and for long term rental.
In addition, we offer a series of activities and projects that support artists in terms of artistic development, networking, financial support and reflection.
Kunstplaats Vonk is not only a place of development for artists but also a partner in various presentation and research projects. Our collaborations are aimed at sharing expertise, increasing visibility, and building a sustainable network. Vonk is a connection point within the international art field. Where international artists create, share and come into contact with the scene of Belgium while on the other hand Vonk spreads our local artists abroad.
Kunstplaats Vonk is supported by the cities of Hasselt and Genk, The Flemish Government and the European Union.
