β THE LISTINGS β
πΊοΈ ACTIVITY

Atelier in Beeld is a large open studio weekend on May 2β3, where over 2,000 visual artists across Flanders and Brussels invite the public into their creative spaces.
Visitors can meet artists, explore their work, and experience studios.
The event is free for artists to join and open to anyone aged 18+ with a studio, from beginners to professionals.

π‘Β PROPERTY

Volkstraat 20 b401
Weatherβs good so obviously weβll pick an apartment at the top floor but that also means a terrace with a nice view.
This place is at Volkstraat so that means coffee not even 1 min walking distance.
For β¬378.000 you get a one-bedroom apartment ready to move at the 4th floor.
π THE FIND

Last week we went to La Craque, a new place in Zurenborg with the most tasty focaccias.
We tried the Diavolo and the IbΓ©rico focaccia. Both ridiculously good. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, messy in the right way!
No marketing budget for these guys, so letβs get them some word of mouth and show them some love (and a kind reminder that this is not even sponsored π)
