The KunstenFESTIVALdesArts was created in, for and together with Brussels in 1994. This three weeks lasting event takes place at fifteen different venues all over Brussels. Every year in May, a diverse group of artists, no matter if they are Flemish or French-speaking, European or coming from other continents, get together to show the public their latest projects.

The word Arts is deliberately used in the plural, as the programme deals with contemporary art forms as diverse as music theatre, theatre, dance, film, multimedia and plastic art. Moreover, the festival unites the different language communities that are represented in Brussels. The result is a fascinating combination of styles, visions, languages and cultures. More than any other event in its kind, the KunstenFESTIVALdesArts crosses all borders.

But it is at the same time a feast of creation: more than half of the projects that are presented here, are world premières. The atmosphere during the festival is an event in itself. There is a lively festival centre with café and restaurant where the public and the artists can meet in a cosy ambience.

In May, Brussels and the KunstenFESTIVALdesArts are just the place to be for artists and all those who are interested in the different kinds of performing arts, as well as for the many foreign professionals who have been following the festival since its creation.
