About Meyboom Artist-Run Spaces
Meyboom is an artist run-space that brings together a community of individuals and collectives working in different fields that formed over the years since 2013. Formerly located in Vaartstraat, World Trade Center 1, then in the previous headquarters of Actiris in the city center, the community started the creation of a non-profit organisation while in Pacheco 34 (from 2023 to 2024), between the central and north station in the city of Brussels. We are now situated at Rue Lambert Crickx 17 (from september 2024 until now), as a temporary space, in the meantime of finding a permanent address for our community.
The broad variety of practices of our community gives us the chance to exchange, support each other, and extend this spirit out to the city. Our engagement with the public includes hosting and collaborating on programs such as showcases, artist residencies, reading rooms, film programs — in addition to providing smaller groups a space to meet or conduct workshops. This community is both a space for artists to work but also a space from which the myriad of interdisciplinary practices engage with the local context, the city, and beyond!
In 2024, our Meyboom community was forced out of our Pacheco 34 location by big-finance powers. Unfortunately, our Collective Statement and outreach to political actors hasn't helped. From our small temporary location (Rue Lambert Crickxstraat 17-2, Anderlecht) we're looking for a new space where we can stay for longer, and possibly share with more collectives.
