About

Founded in 1985, Centre culturel du Brabant wallon is a non-profit association based in Court-Saint-Étienne, Belgium working on arts & culture, community development, education.

The Centre culturel du Brabant wallon is a cultural centre based in Court-Saint-Étienne, Belgium, operating as an autonomous non-profit association (asbl). Created in 1985 through the merger of the Maisons de la culture of Nivelles and Wavre, it runs regional cultural action across the Brabant wallon, from Rebecq to Hélécine. Its work includes artist residences in circus, street arts, puppetry and theatre, public performances, school shows and creative projects for secondary pupils, exhibitions, debates, and an annual reflection event for cultural professionals. It works with local partners and municipalities to bring culture to the widest public, with particular attention to audiences far from culture. Governance is shared through a general assembly, an administration body and an orientation council.
