Het Bos

Het Bos is an artistic house in the middle of the city. After 16 years of isolation in a building just outside the city, between the nettles and away from everything, Scheld’apen founded a new house in the center of Antwerp. A house for artists, bricoleurs, makers, thinkers and others. Het Bos does not rent rooms, but chooses collaborations with a story. Het Bos does not only create art, but also coffee, soup, binge and party. Het Bos likes difference, fire, and things that differ. Het Bos thinks and acts sustainably, that is its natural state. Het Bos is a permanent experiment; it is itself relatively eternal, and the things in Het Bos are relatively temporary. Het Bos supplies a residency space for artists in need of an exhibition space, spaces for theater and film, concert halls, and a free work and meeting space.
