Elements 2024 takes off
From 23 May to 23 June, 11 Euroregional art and culture institutions, including SCHUNCK, will celebrate the diversity and quality of contemporary art in the Meuse-Rhine Euroregion together with the public, under the name ELEMENTS.
After the successful first edition of ELEMENTS in 2021, 11 Euroregional art and cultural institutions have joined forces again. This network of art institutions puts the Meuse-Rhine Euroregion in the (cultural) spotlight. From Sittard to Liège and from Hasselt to Aachen, ELEMENTS 2024 will present a month-long current, diverse and groundbreaking range of exhibitions and special activities.
