Ballroom Gallery

ballroom gallery is a permanent art space by ida wollens (dmw gallery) and bart vanderbiesen (base-alpha). the concept of ballroom gallery is simple: each gallery invites one artist. the combination of artists determines whether this starting point results in two separate solo shows, a duo exhibition or a more intensive collaboration. besides the regular gallery operation, ballroom gallery also creates a space to support the generation of up-and-coming artists with 'ballroom invites'. with this initiative, wollens and vanderbiesen aim to assist the new generation during their first steps in the professional art world. for this purpose, the young artists get a full gallery space at their disposal to present their first solo exhibition.
