Introduction
Flanders Arts Institute is the support centre for the performing arts, classical music and the visual arts in Flanders and Brussels. The organisation caters to both national and international professional arts audiences. The organisation is known as Kunstenpunt to national audiences.
About
Flanders Arts Institute is the support centre for the professional arts in Flanders. We perform four major tasks for three artistic disciplines: the visual arts, the performing arts and classical music:
- info and advice
- networking and exchange
- sector marketing and (international) promotion
- innovation and development
In addition to these core tasks, every five years, at the request of the government, we prepare a Landscape Sketch of the Arts, a description of the evolving arts field. Where lie the strengths, weaknesses, challenges, opportunities and issues?
“Driven by knowledge, inspired by art” is our tagline. This stands for building, processing and sharing knowledge based on a very close proximity to the arts field. In this, facts and figures are just as important as applied knowledge. Many new practices and insights arise from within the arts field itself. The role of Flanders Arts Institute is to collect that knowledge, place it in context and pass it on.
Vision
The world is changing rapidly and becoming increasingly complex; the arts must evolve accordingly. Flanders Arts Institute aims to be a source of inspiration, an accessible and reliable knowledge source, data supplier and fact checker, a mainstay, a facilitator and an innovator, for all who work in the arts.
We take both elements of our tagline – “driven by knowledge” and “inspired by art” – very seriously. That’s what makes us unique: up-to-date, objective and accurate information, and a strong commitment to artists, art workers and art organisations.
Day after day we see the numerous challenges they face. Our aim is to assist them in the most targeted manner possible, always with an eye to the future. This means that Flanders Arts Institute must sometimes also adopt a position, but always with nuance and a solid foundation.
We want in this way to contribute to an arts field in which mutual caring, fairness and solidarity come first. A field that finds the time and space to continue to renew and develop, and to build bridges to related domains.
