Centrale for contemporary art

Nestled in the heart of Brussels, in a former power station, the Centrale for contemporary art is the City of Brussels' contemporary art centre. It develops a committed and open-minded vision of art, in connection with the city and society. Every year, it produces exhibitions and multidisciplinary projects in its various spaces with established and emerging artists from Brussels and abroad.

Practical information :
  • This certification only applies to the building and not to future exhibitions that may take place there. During exhibitions/events, the layout of the premises is subject to change, which may affect accessibility. The organiser would then be responsible for any changes.

  • We strongly advise you to contact the art centre in advance to prepare your visit and find out about the accessibility of current exhibitions.

  • The reception and entrance are not in the same place : Reception is at Place Sainte-Catherine, where you will be given information and asked to pay the entrance fee. The entrance is on the other side of the building (please note that the route is not clearly signposted !). You must go through the reception area before leaving the building to find the entrance to the art centre.

Bright Brussels Festival 2026

The Brussels Festival of Lights guides you through four evenings, from 12 to 15 February, in the iconic central district of Brussels.

Rediscover the historic city centre through more than twenty poetic works and sparkling activities created by artists from around the world.

This year's circuit is unique and features 20 works. The route is approximately 6 km long and forms a loop.

In addition to these artistic installations, a complementary programme punctuates the festival with guided tours, live entertainment and heritage lighting. There are also several facilities accompanying the circuit, such as the Bright Brussels Market for shopping, Bright Brussels Kids for entertaining the youngest visitors and the Bright Brussels Café for a gourmet break.

For this fourth edition, in collaboration with Access-i, only the circuit itself has been made accessible and certified.

Bright Festival is an immersive and artistic experience in the heart of the capital of Europe. Not to be missed !

Practical information :
  • There are seating areas along the route: Parc Royal, Place de la Monnaie, Place des Martyrs, Cathedral of Saint Gudula.

  • The route is completely free of charge. No registration is required.

  • You can start and finish the route wherever you like.

  • This year, information points are located at Place de la Monnaie and at the entrance to the Royal Park.

  • The lighting in the city centre is quite low. The lights are covered with pink cloth along the entire route, but this greatly reduces the overall brightness.

  • Arrangements have been made to facilitate crossings and contrasts. This week's rainy weather may disrupt some of these arrangements. A team of technicians will ensure that these arrangements are maintained throughout the festival as far as possible.

  • The artwork in the courtyard of the Town Hall may pose a problem in terms of accessibility (QR code to be scanned).
