The Boghossian Foundation is temporarily closed and will reopen on 15 June with the exhibition House of Dreamers. See you soon!

Faithful to its educational and artistic mission, the Boghossian Foundation awards annual prizes to students completing their artistic studies. Winners, selected on the basis of their end-of-year examinations, receive the sum of 2,000€.

This approach follows the partnerships with the Antwerp Academy and ArtContest.
