About

Art invites us to know beauty and to solicit it, summon it,
from even the most tragic of circumstances.

It is a space dedicated to the valorization of the artistic productions of Afrodescendant people and encourages encounters, making better known the realities and discourses that have been invisibilized.

History

Wetsi Art Gallery is a space dedicated to the valorization of artistic productions of Afrodescendant people and that encourages encounters, making better known realities and invisibilized discourses.

Created in October 2019 and located in Brussels, Wetsi Art Gallery (WAG) is a space for exhibitions, artistic encounters and sales of art and design.

WAG is a project of the non-profit organization Nouveau Système Artistique active in Brussels since 2009.

In order to reach its objectives of promotion and valorization of the African or Afrodescendant culture and to create bridges between institutions and artists but also to support the emergence of a network of professional artists, Wetsi Art Gallery sets up various partnerships and projects.
