Support NW

Friends of NW consists of local arts lovers, entrepreneurs and sympathisers who believe in arts and culture as driving forces for our Dender region. Their support helps us not only to develop an ambitious programme, but also to make it accessible to as many people as possible. You can support NW through temporary actions, such as the ‘Buy a Chair’ action, art editions or a tailor-made project. Would you like to become a Friend too? You can do so through one of these three Club formulas.

Tailored-made support

As a cultural institution, we pursue partnerships with companies with integrity. Would you like to link your company to our institution or a specific exhibition in a structural way? Are you interested in using our renovated spaces for your corporate event? Contact the Friends of NW Fund at vrienden@nw-aalst.be and we will be happy to explore the best formula for collaboration.

Editions

Each year, NW invites artists from the programme to create a limited edition of art. As a member, you will be the first to be notified of the offer, and will have the chance to be the first to purchase the edition.

View the editions in the shop.
