About the author

The name's Ciaran, a 27-year-old guy who loves the idea of a discovery, even if it actually isn't one. Among many other Sherlock Holmes adventures, searching for art and music is what keeps me going. High Five!

Remember De Grote 8? A little while back we introduced you to them with their expo at Pand 14. These guys haven’t been sitting ducks in the meantime. On December 8th there is going to be quite a special event. Think neighbourhood block party, think multidisciplinary arts, think cultural get-together. For one night only, the Wolvenstraat will be transformed into an all-round playground of art and culture. Vitrine de Ville a.k.a. Showcase City!

All the installations and projects are intertwined throughout the whole street. The bars, restaurants, boutiques and hairdressers are all stages and all the window displays are pop-up galleries. Left, right, top, bottom, centre; my bet is in every nook and cranny there will be some kind of surprise waiting. I’ve already read something about bands, DJs and an opera singer…?

You know the drill: get yourself over there and have a damn good time!
