About

Frans Masereel Centrum is a renowned center for contemporary art in Belgium, offering international residency programs for artists, researchers, and academics. Established in 1972, the center focuses on printmaking, providing a creative environment equipped with professional facilities. The residency programs, which include individual, collective, and art school residencies, do not require prior knowledge of printmaking techniques. Each year, around 50 national and international artists are selected through an open call to develop and create print-related projects. The center is located in a serene, wooded area, offering an inspiring setting for artistic exploration and collaboration. Residents have access to a variety of printmaking techniques, including typography, intaglio, screen printing, and digital printing. The center fosters a community atmosphere, encouraging informal consultations, feedback, and collaboration among peers. Despite a temporary halt in activities from September 2024 to December 2025 for construction, the center will resume its vibrant residency programs in spring 2026.
