About Garage29

Garage29 is a venue for scenic creation, offering a programme of residencies designed to test and experiment with the working frameworks that enable scenic ideas to emerge. In the cultural landscape of Brussels, the venue occupies a key position between training facilities and programming structures. The structure works exclusively with emerging artists, enabling them to reflect on their work, become part of a professional network and gain new perspectives.
