The Zero-Cost Exhibition Programme was founded in 2019 to create financially accessible creative opportunities. We were skint students back then and couldn't afford to submit to open calls or pay for venue hire. We pitched the idea of a programme set up to support skint artists to Antwerp Mansion and they agreed with our ideas - the programme was born and we have now hosted 60+ large scale events and had tens of thousands of guests attend over the years.
Our classic staple events. A mixture of performance, theatre, stalls, workshops, guest speakers, music (venue depending) with an art exhibition at its core. It is free to submit, exhibit and host a stall. Paid work available for performers and workshops.
Host your own event in collaboration with us and receive free venue hire, access to free equipment and mentoring across our relevant departments!
Volunteer at our exhibitions and gain experience in invigilating, gallery work, art handling and installation. Volunteers are supported by the relevant departments. References available afterwards.
