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
- international visitor days (UFO Visitor program);
- peer-to-peer event (UFO Mixers);
- a series of 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.
‘UFO: For and by artists’ is supported by Flanders.
Show Events →SUPPORT PARCOURS
SUPPORT Parcours is a series of sessions organized by NUCLEO in collaboration with Kunstwerkt, highlighting various aspects of being an artist. Through workshops and lectures, a broad group of artists gains valuable insights to strengthen their artistic practice.
The first edition of Parcours took place in the spring of 2025. Keep an eye on our agenda for the next edition.
Show Events →Chit Chat
Chit Chat is a recurring gathering designed to foster conversation, connection, and mutual support among artists.
Each time we meet in a different studio, where all topics are welcome. Whether you’d like to share your creative process, discuss doubts and challenges, or simply exchange thoughts on art and creativity — this is a space for open conversation, accompanied by good food and drinks. There is no obligation to present your own work; you are just as welcome to listen, engage in discussions, and enjoy the inspiring company of fellow artists.
Our goal is to build a close-knit and supportive artistic community where we can openly share both the highs and lows of our practice.
