SUPPORT
SUPPORT is NUCLEO’s support programme for artists (both at NUCLEO and beyond). Artists are encouraged to deepen and strengthen their artistic practice through lectures, workshops and other forms of exchange.
For and by artists
From the autumn of 2024 to the autumn of 2026, UFO (of which NUCLEO is a member) is organising the programme‘For and by Artists: what does it mean to support artists?’ in Flanders and Brussels.
This programme consists of
- two international visitor days (the UFO Visitor Programme);
- an annual peer-to-peer event (Artist Mixers);
- a series of monthly artist portraits (Artist Portraits).
In 2027 a publication will be released that reports on the project in an experimental way and presents its findings.
UFO is the platform of studio organisations connecting Cas-co (Leuven), De Tank (Het Entrepot, Bruges), Level Five (Brussels), MORPHO (Antwerp), NUCLEO (Ghent) and Vonk (Hasselt-Genk). UFO actively thinks about sustainable solutions and creative models to keep (and anchor) artists in the city, both on a local and a Flemish level.
