We Welcome Our New Member, Académie royale des beaux-arts de Bruxelles

We are excited to welcome our new member: Académie royale des beaux-arts de Bruxelles 

The Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Brussels is a higher arts school (ESA) subsidised by the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. Its educational project is in line with the project of the City of Brussels, its organising authority. 

Founded in 1711, the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Brussels, is today at the centre of a rich history and a current educational and artistic project. It has inherited a tradition that has seen the stratification of a wide range of artistic practices and the invention of new teaching methods. It is now part of the complex international panorama of higher education, with a dimension that is as much pedagogical, artistic and professional as it is artistic.  It is a place of teaching and research, and a major creative and production workshop where generations of artists, creators and project developers are forged. 

Every year, more than 500 students from Belgium and all over the world follow its courses.  They are enrolled in the first cycle of a bachelor's degree or the second cycle of a master's degree in one of the seventeen courses, including Art in the Public Space, Interior Architecture, Visual Communication, Textile Design, Urban Design, Drawing, Engraving, Illustration, Exhibition Practices - CARE, Sculpture, or one of the three continuing education courses: Knitting Maille, Food Design or Interior Design Management. 

The school aims to develop its students' artistic and professional practices in a unique way, giving them a reflective and critical stance on the arts. In recent years, new courses and programmes have been created: Masters in Exhibition Practice, Editorial Practice and Urban Design, as well as the Institute of Arts and Choreography, and professional courses known as Executive Masters in Knitwear, Food Design and Interior Design Management. These new courses reflect the school's desire to move forward with its teaching, in step with the practices of the times.
