A living community for retired artists
Find and secure subsidies to create elderly communities around the common interest of art.
2022 - now
As part of the board of the Kurt Defrancq Foundation, we provide strategic guidance and support in securing subsidies to ensure the sustainability of the foundation’s operations and infrastructure.
The foundation’s mission is to create a unique living and working environment for artists and performers who, even as they age, continue to be driven by their creative passion.
The Kurt Defrancq Huis offers a vibrant mix of housing, care services, and cultural engagement, fostering an intergenerational community where older and younger talents can connect, collaborate, and inspire. Beyond its focus on creativity, the Huis plays an important social role by integrating local social clubs and creating a welcoming space for community interaction.
By supporting the Kurt Defrancq Foundation, we help bring its vision to life: a place where artists can continue to create, connect, and thrive, supported by a community that values their contributions and ensures their well-being.
Close to our heart
Dignified aging is a theme we deeply value, and the Kurt Defrancq Huis embodies this principle in an exceptional way. This project is particularly meaningful to us because it fosters communities of like-minded individuals, allowing older artists and performers to transition earlier—compared to traditional care models—into a supportive living environment.
By creating a space where residents can continue to live independently, remain creatively active, and engage with others who share their passions, the Kurt Defrancq Huis goes beyond just housing. It offers a vibrant cultural and social context where residents stay connected, inspired, and involved in meaningful activities. On top of this, it fosters interaction with the local community, civil society organisations and socio-cultural associations.
This approach ensures not only better care and support but also a sense of belonging and purpose, allowing individuals to thrive in an environment that genuinely reflects their interests and values. We find this project particularly valuable because it reimagines aging as a phase of life rich with connection, creativity, and opportunity. Where do you want to get old?
