ZOMERSALON 2021:
BUY LOCAL #2

NO SUMMER SALON IN 2022

After two successful editions we're taking a break: in 2022 there will be no Summer Salon. The concept was a response to the corona crisis and the difficult situation this created for many artists. We are working out a concept for a renewed edition in 2023. To stay up to date, please register for the newsletter at www.kunsthal.gent!
