Multidisciplinary exhibition

Kunst in het Dorp is a multidisciplinary exhibition in which some 35 artists will display their works in an integrated manner throughout the various rooms and in the garden of a historic site, the Ter Loo castle-monastery in Bellingen (Pepingen), located in the Pajottenland region. Kunst in het Dorp 2027 will also take place in the abbey church of Bellingen and at other locations along a walking route from the castle-monastery to the abbey church.

The working group is seeking artists to apply to participate in the following art forms, among others: painting and drawing, sculpture, ceramics, photography, audiovisual art, multimedia art, paper art, textile art, word art, music, green art, land art, glass art, conceptual art, and (site-specific) installation art.

The following criteria for selection are essential and crucial: 

• the quality of the artworks
• the originality (in terms of theme, subject, concept, technique, design, nature, size, etc.)
• the integration (fitting presentation both indoors and outdoors)
• the variety of style within the participating disciplines. 

In our vision, interaction and dialogue are central: with the surroundings, with the historical context or the contemporary use of the location or the designated space, or possibly with the artworks of a fellow artist.
