What is the arts database?

More about the arts database

This database was set up and is supplemented by Flanders Arts Institute and volunteers.

Flanders Arts Institute is the support centre for professional music, performing arts and audiovisual and visual arts in Flanders. As part of our decretal mission, we try to map the arts landscape in Flanders with the goal of research and visibility.

The arts database covers music, performing arts, audiovisual and visual arts by listing professional actors from those disciplines, and describing their activities. It has a long history, and has thus been developing for more than 30 years.

Flemish collections and archives for the arts

Flanders Arts Institute started in 2015 as a merger organisation of the former support centres for visual arts (BAM – Institute for Visual, Audiovisual and Media Arts), for music (Music Centre Flanders) and for performing arts (VTi – Flemish Theatre Institute). The collections of these organisations have since been moved to new destinations with due care: below is an overview of their former archives.
