Dedicated to the promotion of the contemporary art scene, the Art on Paper fair in collaboration with BOZAR is launching with the support of Eeckman Art & Insurance a call for projects aimed at artists and art students whose practice reflects affinities with drawing.
The winner of the EECKMAN ART PRIZE, selected by a jury made up of members of the contemporary art world, will be given the opportunity to exhibit his or her work in the form of a solo show during Art on Paper, which will be held from 15 to 19 September 2021 in BOZAR’s Ravenstein circuit, as well as in the offices of Eeckman Art & Insurance as part of the Brussels Drawing Week (14 to 19 September 2021).

From 14 May to 31 October, the Belgian artist Anne Daems (°1966) will be exhibiting her drawings, photographs, videos and installations at BOZAR in an exhibition entitled Tuinkamer (Garden Room).
The exhibition presents the full range of her artistic practice, in which the details of everyday life are dissected and brought to the fore, highlighting the fragility but also the beauty of this simple reality.
Anne Daems won the Prijs Jonge Belgische Schilderkunst (the precursor of the Belgian Art Prize) in 1999 and lives and works in Brussels.
