Alice van den Abeele and Raphaël Cruyt have been hosting bold contemporary art exhibitions for more than 20 years.
They started out in a little gallery in downtown Brussels, then put their energy into the iconic and much-loved street art museum MIMA until it closed down in 2024.
The couple now run a large exhibition space in Ixelles with a bold yellow door and an upside-down A logo. This is where they showcase their pick of edgy, emerging artists.
Drop in sometime to get up close to inspiring art in this light-filled Ixelles townhouse.
