àmare 2026
This innovative initiative comes from entrepreneur Luc Beke, owner of the Global Estate Group and De Blauwe Zaal. It also houses the Belgian wine estate Mérula and recently acquired the boat De Lamme Goedzak. For Àmare, he joined forces with Annelies Ysebaert, owner of the contemporary art gallery of the same name, Gallery Ysebaert, in Sint-Martens-Latem. Annelies Ysebaert is acting as the exclusive curator of the art project and is bringing 22 renowned artists to the Bruges Ommeland region for this purpose.
Art Flow Zwolle
The Dutch municipality of Zwolle put forward Annelies Ysebaert as curator for Art Flow Zwolle, a project in collaboration with Ralph Keuning, museum director of De Fundatie. Art Flow Zwolle is a summer art route through Zwolle, where residents and tourists can view artworks in both outdoor and indoor spaces.
Nick Ervinck
With his master's degree in Mixed Media, contemporary artist Nick Ervinck focuses on installations, 3D printed sculptures, ceramics, prints, drawings, light boxes and animated films. His knowledge in sculpture, materials and computer modelling allows him to merge the virtual and real worlds. As a result, his work appears to be imported from a fictional world.
