MINO Artspace is an Antwerp-based independent art and community space founded in January 2022. We center the visions and aspirations of a generation of emerging artists and community-builders.

We strongly believe in art as a catalyst for positive change and transformation – in terms of personal as well as societal growth.

 “A space for creativity and experimentation that strives to support the local arts ecosystem.” 


MINO aims to create an inspiring environment for emerging multidisciplinary artists to connect, develop and thrive. A space to kickstart, explore and deepen your practice, experiment with pushing boundaries and exploring new models and narratives on your own terms. 


”Empowering artists and community-builders to build sustainable practices.”
