Our brand new artistic project HUP has been launched. Out of a lot of outstanding submissions, the jury selected a group of 15 artists who, as part of this project, get a push to develop their very own artistic idea.

There was no lack of artistic ideas and plans! The HUP jury (Zeynep Kubat, Roos Lauwaert, Koen De Roovere and Rémie Vanderhaegen) received 186 entries. From these, they carefully chose a group of artists with diverse profiles. Their focus was on non-professional artists, recent graduates, part-time artists and people without formal art training.

The artists of HUP 1: Elise El Yousfi, Marie-Anne Schotte, Elias Driesen, Julia Waraksa, Ayla Castelein, Pedro Riofrio, Pé Publications, Asma Laajimi, Zoë Brennan, Margot Van Kerckhove, Quinten Torp, Nathalie De Weweire, Hamada Elkept, Katrien Thomas, Nicole Gijsels.
