The upcoming Connections: Belgium’s Art-and-Business Scene – Belgian Issue Launch event, supported by K&H Bank, will introduce the Spring 2025 Art is Business magazine issue, which explores Belgium’s unique approach to cultural funding.

For years, Art is Business has been publishing country-specific editions that explore how different nations connect the worlds of art and business. The Spring 2025 issue focuses on Belgium, a country with a unique and exciting approach to cultural funding. Instead of a centralized system, art support is decided at a regional level in Wallonia, Brussels, and Flanders.
In addition to covering this innovative funding model, the magazine delves into cultural tourism and highlights Belgian companies and cultural figures, offering insights into their collaborations.
At our April event, we will not only present the magazine but also invite Belgian companies and cultural leaders for sharing their thoughts and experiences.
