SALOON Brussels reunites women working in the arts of the Belgian capital as well as in other cities in the country. SALOON Brussels aims at bringing together professionals from both the Flemish and Francophone communities, who are too often working separately, along with international profiles that choose Brussels as their base. Through a program of monthly meetings and events, SALOON Brussels members are offered the opportunity to discover each other's work, to access a pool of skills and resources, to engage and expand their knowledge of both the local and international scene and to meet in a friendly setting. Creating opportunities to collaborate, facilitate meetings that sparks inspiration, offering the ground for exchange and access to knowledge are the core objectives of SALOON Brussels, that aims at affirming itself as the reference network for women in the arts in Belgium.
Find more information also about the member's application process please contact brussels@saloon-network.org.

With one foot in producing performative arts and one in European cultural policy, Camilla Colombo (she/her) worked in Italy, UK, Chile and Belgium. Always interested in hybridization and crossing of disciplines, Camilla worked for art organisations of all sizes focusing on multidisciplinary and multimedia theatre productions and project management. She has worked with international directors such as Andrée Ruth Shammah, Robert Wilson and Ramin Gray. Since 2016 she is based in Brussels where she is working in cultural policy and advocacy for the arts, and where, with a group of engineers, she co-founded Ohme, a collective curating and producing educational and artistic content at the nexus between arts and sciences.
