The 4th exhibition of the traveling IAC Benelux group “Vision and Fusion” is part of the 5th Biennale “De Mains de Maitres Luxembourg” and opens on November 18 - November 25, 2025. The address is: 19, Avenue de la Liberte, L-1160 Gare, Luxembourg.
The fourth stage of the IAC Benelux Members' exhibition, Fusion of Vision, showcases the work of 23 renowned artists from Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. The exhibition aims to highlight the richness and innovative diversity of ceramic art in the Benelux region, showcasing a variety of styles, techniques and artistic perspectives. The concepts of vision and fusion characterise our current era. As IAC Benelux members, the artists are connected to a network of international artists via the Academy. Yet they remain individual artists with their own vision. At the same time, they forge connections between different cultures through ceramics. Their works reflect the contrast between connection and confusion, showcasing the diverse coherence of ceramic art.
