This year marks the third edition of the much awaited Brussels I Love You Contemporary Art Walk —better known for its BILY acronym. Until February 10, the Belgian capital is turned a cartographic treasure trove of galleries, cultural organisations, artist residencies and exhibition spaces.

The art track has one main purpose: to nudge the visitor to see Brussels’ neighbourhoods under an artistic magnifying glass.

If you’re participating in the walk, here are the toy key things to keep in mind.

[1] FREE GUIDED TOURS
Want to join a guided tour for the track? Head this Sunday, February 10 to La Patinoire Royale (15 rue Veydt) and sign up for one of the four tours available, at 14.00, 15.00, 16.00 and 17.00. Do keep in mind that, albeit free, a reservation is needed —you can send an e-mail to [email protected] to join one of the guided walks.

[2] LIST OF VENUES
Here is the list of the participating venues. Throughout BILY 2018, entrance to these locations is free. And may we suggest a visit to TLmag’s sister gallery, Spazio Nobile? Be sure to check out the opening of Season VII – Die Werkstatt, starting on February 8.

PAD Paris returns to the Tuileries for the 28th edition of this collectible art and design fair. The fair is on view between April 8-12, 2026.

At Spazio Nobile’s 10th anniversary, philosopher and visual artist Benoît Maire and scenographer Marie Corbin turn the fleeting moment of a “crush” into a meditation on art, objects, and the gaze. A dialogue between applied and fine arts where nothing is fixed, and everything shimmers between observation and oblivion.

From March 18-25, 2026, Spazio Nobile presents Memories of a Garden, a colourful and captivating series of new work by Kiki van Eijk that captures the designer’s vivid imagination and the impact that nature and the landscape has on her practice.

On Saturday, March 14th, Belgian textile designer Vera Vermeersch will open her studio between 12-20h, offering visitors the opportunity to see her latest work, works-in progress, and have a unique glimpse into this prolific artist’s process and vision.
