In 2020, Hangar became 100% photography

With 10 exhibitions a year in 2018-2019, 80% of them devoted to photography, Hangar has inched towards a 100% focus on photography. PhotoBrussels Festival, created in 2016 by Delphine Dumont, is the flagship annual event of Hangar, which has seen, these last years, a gradual emergence of a whole dynamic based around photography.

Photography with boundless horizons

As an art center devoted to photography, Hangar has set itself the mission of opening up to all forms and sensitivities of contemporary photography. There is no restriction on genres, or territories, or operating methods in the medium. What counts is the artist, what he/she/they has to say about his/her/their times through the lens, and the experience that the curated and exhibited works offer our visitors.

Young and upcoming photographers

As it has done over the last two years, Hangar is again supporting up and coming photographers via partnerships with art and photography colleges schools, giving particular attention and support to young talents and organising competitions such as the PBF Prize during PhotoBrussels Festival.

Activities around Hangar

The pace of 8 to 10 exhibitions a year is being maintained, and will enable visitors to be exposed to a broad selection of photographic artists. The watchword is mediation and openness to all audiences, with a schedule of lectures, workshops and various events based around photography. The sales arm (selling prints, photography books, limited editions and so on) is housed in a bookshop.
