Welcome to the Neighborhood 4
Group Exhibition
About the exhibition
In a formerly vacant building at Jan Persijnstraat 1, Welcome to the Neighborhood grows into a living, ever-changing exhibition.
For this fourth edition, 43 artists fill our walls with paintings, drawings, photography, monotype, cyanotype, sculptures, animation, ceramics, collage, plushies, …
With this project, BLUT! stays true to its no-budget, community-driven approach while also showing the reality of being an artist.
About the location
BLUT! Art Gallery reclaims vacant buildings in Kortrijk, starting in the often-overlooked Jan Persijnstraat. We take action against emptiness and exclusion with a no-budget, DIY approach to art and community.
Through raw, low-threshold exhibitions, we open space for artists, makers, and performers from all walks of life. Our platform grows organically in collaboration with local residents, inviting participation rather than perfection.
BLUT! offers an alternative to the elitism of the traditional art world. It’s not just a gallery, but a living, changing space where creativity connects people and place.
Made possible with the support of Bolwerk, Leiedal, and many local partners.
