About | Young European Artists

Young European Artists supports emerging artists to create, develop, and promote their art

Based in Brussels, we build an ecosystem where emerging European artists can develop their practice, meet their peers, and present their work to the public.
Talent needs more than attention. It needs connection.
Emerging artists don’t just need a place on a feed. They need space to create, people to connect with, and opportunities to promote their work in real life.

Co-founded by Célestin Fresnay and Pierre Colaiacovo, Young European Artists is built as a nonprofit platform dedicated to emerging European artists, combining spaces, community, and visibility. That’s what we build: a community that turns artistic potential into momentum.

We support emerging artists with space and network to create, develop and promote their art.

We support artists with what matters most at the beginning of a career:
Affordable studios and workspaces
> Digital visibility through our platform and curated portfolios
> Access to opportunities: open calls, residencies, prizes, competitions
> A community that creates momentum through encounters and collaborations

We create spaces where artists can work, meet, and exhibit.

We develop spaces designed around artists’ real needs: places to work, exchange, and build. Our spaces also open up to the public through exhibitions, open studios and events, giving artists the opportunity to show their work in a professional context.

Some projects are temporary. Others are built to last.
Our goal is clear: grow from transitional spaces to long-term, permanent places for artists in Brussels.

We organize exhibitions, concerts, festivals and gatherings.

We curate exhibitions, open studios, performances and multidisciplinary events that connect artists with audiences, collectors, and cultural partners.
These public moments are where the work meets the world — and where the community becomes visible.
