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 programme 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.
