Kunstencentrum Vooruit

Vooruit is a vibrant arts center with 300,000 annual visitors. Since 1982, we have been offering countless cultural events, focusing specifically on performing arts, music, books and city & transition. Vooruit organizes 500 to 600 of our own activities annually. In addition to this, we also cooperate with a large number of partners, who complete and strengthen our offerings through our hall rental. <br><br> With its broad range of activities, from stage shows, performances and concerts, to book presentations, debates and parties, Vooruit is a significant meeting place for a very diverse public. Contributing to this is our popular Café, where anyone can come enjoy a (vegetarian) meal or drink, meet for a chat, or catch up on some work. Moreover, our central location in the heart of Ghent, makes Vooruit an ideal place to meet new and familiar faces. <br><br> Vooruit is located in an impressive one-hundred-year-old monument that houses four stages, four studios (for lectures/exhibitions/rehearsals) and a large café with connecting patio and bicycle parking lot. With 20,000 m² of hallways and chambers, you can stroll for hours in this official historical landmark. The building is open every day, but the halls are only accessible during activities.
