VF ART PROJECTS Productions (Luxembourg, Spain, Argentina) and BÉNÉDIKT AÏCHELÉ JOAILLER (Brussels, Uzés, Paris) are pleased to announce their new collaboration in Brussels, with the opening of an innovative art space called: “ALLPA”, dedicated to hosting contemporary art exhibitions, promoting Ibero-American Art in dialogue with Local Artists from the Benelux region , with the aim of fostering a dynamic exchange of visions and experiences.
