Francis Maere Fine Arts - Ooidonk Art Festival 2025 final weekend
28/08/2025
Last week to discover the Ooidonk Art Festival. Set in a stunning landscape, right next to the iconic Ooidonk Castle in Bachte-Maria-Leerne, the Goed te Réables, a historic 17th century farmhouse, has been transformed into a living gallery, its walls, beams, and barns resonating with the voices of 45 contemporary artists such as Wim Delvoye, Jan Fabre, Tony Matelli, and Sofie Muller, alongside a new generation of emerging talents. Each corner reveals a new dialogue between past and present, between rough brick and bold expression. At the same time, our City Pavilion in Ghent also approaches its final weekend. This space offers an additional platform for the festival in the heart of the city.

Francis Maere Fine Arts | Kouter 172, 9000 Gent / Opening days: Saturday & Sunday, 11 AM – 6 PM
This autumn we mark a milestone: 30 years of Francis Maere Fine Arts Gallery. Three decades of passion, dialogue, and discovery in art deserve a celebration and we’ve chosen to do so with a very special exhibition. We invited Jonathan Knight to show 30 of his works, placed in direct dialogue with 30 carefully chosen pieces from our permanent collection. Together, they create a conversation that reflects where the gallery began and how it has evolved over the past 30 years.
