Bozar is a welcoming and dynamic arts house with a beating heart in Brussels. We provide a platform for artists from Belgium and the wider world. Victor Horta’s art deco building is akin to a living body, in which we encourage the free circulation of visual arts, music, film, performances and ideas. Bozar aims to be a vibrant space for the living arts.

Bozar transforms to sustain… Everyone in this house is driven by the transformative power of art, from the artists and visitors to our staff. Art plays a fundamental role in society, in a world that is in the throes of transformation. Art opens up a capacity for change, both on a personal and communal level. We live in critical times, at a tipping point that is riddled with challenges: ethical, demographic, democratic and ecological. Artists and thinkers are deeply cognizant of these issues.

Bozar inhales and inspires… Bozar is akin to a laboratory in which we collectively analyse the possibilities for positive societal change: how can art, both historic and contemporary, contribute to wider social transformations? The Bozar project is founded on democratic and ethical values, with a view to a fairer and more sustainable society that embraces solidarity.
