MOBILE WORKSTATION IN CO-WORKSPACE

As a new artist at Globe Aroma, people are invited to work in the co-working space. This is a mobile, versatile area where artists can use shared art supplies to test techniques, experiment, and meet others during intensive workshops. This space acts as a membrane, facilitating the introduction of artists to Globe Aroma and vice versa. We place great value on working in close proximity, meaning sharing space and time together by working creatively.

During this period (time can vary from person to person), we encourage artists to participate in Art For All activities to enrich their practice and begin establishing connections with others active in the cultural field in Brussels, whether as cultural workers or spectators.

Artists in the open co-working space have access to info-sessions (i.e. ‘how to pitch your art practice’, ‘how to price artworks’ or ‘how to get remunerated as an artist in Belgium’) alongside artists in the fixed workstations, as well as participation in collective gatherings such as Atelier Assemblée.

FIXED WORKSTATION IN ATELIER/REHEARSAL SPACE

After an initial phase in the co-working space, artists whose practice can be supported more structurally by Globe Aroma are offered a fixed workstation in the atelier and access to the rehearsal space. Here, we aim to provide the environment and conditions necessary for artists and musicians to grow professionally.

As an artist in the dedicated space, artists have a personal corner in the atelier on the 1st floor, one can count on support in compiling portfolios and applying to open calls, access to specific tools and materials, and the opportunity to participate in collective projects such as Soft Apero or Sea is for Story, Tea is for Telling. 

The dedicated space operates in 6-month cycles, with a maximum duration of 2 years. Every 6 months, each artist, together with the team, reassesses their needs and ambitions, getting reconfirmed their stay in the dedicated space. After the 2 years, artists stay in the cosmos of Globe Aroma as satellite artists.

SATELLITE ARTISTS

Satellite artists are those who have previously accessed the dedicated or co-working space and no longer require a dedicated space or have moved outside Brussels and cannot regularly visit Globe Aroma. We maintain contact with these artists, sharing work opportunities, visibility, and, when possible, training opportunities. They are always welcome to use our co-working space.
