Frans Masereel Centrum
Frans Masereel Centrum (1972) is part of the Flemish government, offering residencies and a working space to graphic designers, artists and critics who want to work with old or new printing techniques, manual or digital, or who want to investigate the relationship of graphic techniques with other visual arts. Check out our facilities here. FMC anno 2015 is a graphical laboratory in which the possibilities of graphical applications are being researched, widened and reformulated. Besides residencies, FMC organizes print projects such as exhibitions and the annual Print Art Fair, and supports artist publications.
