ART2WORK wishes to contribute to developing a creative city, where people are given opportunities. And innovative dynamics arise through extensive cooperation. A creative city is one that creates a suitable climate for « creativity » in the broadest sense of the word. Here, creativity represents the human potential and not solely the aspiration of the artistic elite. A creative city brings about new synergies between the whole of its actors: economic, cultural, educational or social. It is a city that innovates and invents, a city that builds to last.
ART2WORK intends to combine work with creative value, provide workshops to the creative minds, accompany the unemployed and employers in a creative manner, include the Brussels cultural sector in these integration paths, build bridges wherever necessary. In short, « art to work »
ART2WORK wants, among other things, to convert the BELLEVUE site (in whole or in part) into a « creative brewery » and render it into a new creative area in the hart of Brussels – post industrial city - embedded in Molenbeek, but open to the entire society. An historical foundation (museum, industrial past, geuzelambiek, breweries) should assist in writing a new historical page towards the future by establishing a cluster of creative companies (from designers to advanced technology companies), in a multifunctional to multipurpose area: training centre, technical and creative workshops, space for cultural and educational organizations, a café/restaurant, a hotel,... a brasserie,... for the creative class, for the unemployed in Brussels, for tourists from around world, ... an authentic and unique place that sparkles with energy and offers growth potential to the entire neighbourhood.
