Artpotheek is an art pharmacy. An independent space for experimentation and exhibition of avant-garde contemporary art, which offers recipes and artistic medicines for spiritual hygiene and your mental health.

Founded in January 2011 by Aida Moreno (Jai Du) and Ignacio Galilea, with Jai Du being responsible for management and production and Ignacio for art direction and curatorship, sharing communication tasks between the two.

Located in the center of Brussels, Artpotheek has stood out since its inception for its interest in art performance, creating a monthly event "Perfocilinne" dedicated exclusively to this artistic channel.

Our pharmacy has served as a platform for new talents and internationally established figures, favoring the presence of Hispanic-American artists.

​

Since 2014, Artpotheek stops having its own physical space and transforms into "Artpotheek sans frontières", organizing our events in other artistic spaces, such as; ZSenne Art Lab, Barlok, Sign6, Recyclart, Le Lac, Un Peu, Octopus Gallery...

To date, more than 35 performance events have been held, 23 exhibitions (not counting those organized by the BAD collective in our space), 11 artistic residencies and 7 workshops have been organized, with more than 60 artists from all continents having shown their work.

At Artpotheek we support non-commercial contemporary art, with new proposals, in which representative quality, irony, humor, criticism and risk are fundamental parts of the artistic project.

Although, especially in performance events, we try to ensure that the audience can see as many different styles or currents that exist within this art, even if they are not our preference.
