Nowadays widely acknowledged as one of the potentially most influent contemporary art places in the world, Brussels is presenting its 2009 edition of Brussels Art Days.
For its second edition, the B.A.D. mutates to a whole week-end and grows to a bigger event. After great succes in 2008, we are pleased to announce the general reopening of Brussels art galleries, on the week-end of September 12th and 13th 2009.
This year, 27 spaces will take part, all around Brussels, with an improved free shuttle service on Saturday afternoon, allowing visitors to easily move from space to space, around a great mix of historical and major exhibitions as well as fresh discoveries and more entertainment…
