MAOW 2019 Edition

<p><strong>The&nbsp;project</strong><br /> <br /> Founded in 2012, <a href="https://maowbook.blog/" target="_blank"><strong>Maow</strong></a> is an art platform where art and design coexist and confront each other in the form of a limited edition printed book. The project has earned a small reputation by supporting emerging international artists in artistic fields such as illustration, sculpture, painting, photography and more.<br /> <br /> Each year, the duo book + exhibition highlights <strong>50 artists</strong> <strong>carefully selected</strong> by a small Belgian-French-Swiss jury based in Brussels who share an aesthetic combining the codes of graphic arts and subcultures.<br /> <img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/583260/kkbb_img01-1554206849.jpg" width="100%" /><br /> <strong>Program</strong><br /> <br /> Maow will organise a collective exhibition in Brussels in June 2019. The artistic meeting place named<strong> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lavalleebxl/" target="_blank">LaVall&eacute;e</a></strong> will host the event and the artists of the book wishing to showcase their works. From craftsmanship to graphic art, through illustration, painting or even silkscreening, this event will be an opportunity to celebrate the freshly printed book as well as share a good moment between artists, public and organisers. On program: summer vibes, music, food tasting and beautiful meetings!<br /> <br /> The opening night is scheduled on <strong>Friday&nbsp;7 June 2019 from 7pm</strong>. The exhibition will be open on the <strong>afternoons</strong> of <strong>Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 June 2019</strong>.<br /> <iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="281" scrolling="no" src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fplayer.vimeo.com%2Fvideo%2F154511490%3Fapp_id%3D122963&amp;dntp=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F154511490&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.vimeocdn.com%2Fvideo%2F555055498_1280.jpg&amp;key=8b7d8dd6504d41af9a77662672aabc2a&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=vimeo" width="500"></iframe><br /> <strong>Who&#39;s Maow?</strong><br /> <br /> Based in Brussels since 2009, <a href="http://anna-touvron.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Anna</strong></a>&nbsp;has imagined&nbsp;Maow to bring together the many creative talents around her.
