Open Call

Museumnacht Antwerpen looking for artists

On the first Saturday of August, Antwerp is all about Museum Night. Many of the city's art venues open their doors at night. Each year, AmuseeVous gets the chance to create an alternative program tailored to young audiences. Together with a young team, we develop a new concept every year that puts emerging artists at the heart of Antwerp’s major art institutions. 

This year, we are focusing on the connections between different locations and organizing activities in high-traffic public spaces. Think poetry, performances, or a guided tour—but anything is possible. 

The list of locations is truly impressive. These venues have already signed up for our program: KMSKA, MOMU, Rubenshuis, Sint-Andrieskerk, Snijders & Rockoxhuis, Letterenhuis, Vleeshuis, DIVA, and Het Steen. We will provide artistic interventions at their locations or in the spaces between them.
