Happy Newyear from the (he)art of Europe !🇪🇺🎵🖼️

Quittersday today? Not where the Artists in our spotlight are concerned!

But first things first. ArtistCongratz wishes all of you fine readers a Happy healthy Creative 2024 with lots of fascinating and inspiring blogposts regarding talented people in different artforms.

Before we are headed North to spot & congratulate rising talent 🎵at ESNS in the Netherlands next week, what better place to kick off our year/Belgian presidency than in the very heart of Europe.

Did you know that the European Parliament regularly organises art-exhibitions in their office buildings?

Last Tuesday we rediscovered artworks of a unique artist we interviewed before in 2022. (Picture by Dorothy Declerck)
