About this exhibition:

This exposition is an initiative from the school for art and music, Mezzos vzw in a joint effort with KEG (Kunst Experimenten Gent) and is already 10 years old under the umbrella: “KEG POPUP ART FESTIVAL”.

The goal is to expose submerging talent to the public. Mezzos creates a step up for emerging talent, talent that is present but not visible to a broader public.

Mezzos is empowering emerging artists through the KEG POPUP Art Festival by giving them a unique underground stage to shine. By curating dynamic exhibitions and live performances, Mezzos helps artists connect directly with new audiences. The POPUP KEG festival creates space for experimentation, collaboration, and real-time creation. Through this initiative, Mezzos is actively submerging fresh talent into Ghent’s vibrant cultural scene.
