The ARTONOV Festival
The ARTONOV Festival is inspired by the international Art Nouveau movement, both for its philosophy and its implementation, but also by the Japanese sensorial and multidisciplinary art. Its goal is to generate a convergence between the performing arts – music, dance, theatre – andfashion and visual arts, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and creation in Art Nouveau and Art Deco houses and other venues of remarkable architecture in Brussels.
The Festival presents a dozen original and innovative artistic performances featuring young people and professionals. It aims to offer artists, and primarily emerging artists, the opportunity to develop their artistic projects in a spirit of collaboration between generations, nationalities and artistic disciplines.
