A new year, a new studio building! Convent 15, located in the beguinage of Sint-Amandsberg, will for nine years be a place where artists can develop their practice in peace and quiet.
During the renovation we addressed, among other things, the technical installations and the carpentry work, ensuring that the building can be used safely. The final finishing touches still need to be completed, but the first artists have already moved in!
From mid-2026 onwards, the ground floor of this building will also house a new BLANCO space. Here, artists will be able to present their work. Encounter and collaboration will be central. We will focus on public moments for local residents, passers-by, and a wider audience to engage in dialogue around the work. An additional asset is the beautiful inner garden.
NUCLEO received support from the Fonds Tijdelijke Invullingen of the City of Ghent for the renovation of this space. The project was made possible with the help of numerous volunteers and the students of the nearby Keerpunt school — thank you! We would also like to warmly thank Groot Begijnhof Sint-Amandsberg vzw for their trust and the pleasant collaboration.
