First aid for (starting) artists

Are you just starting out as an artist and do you have any questions on the substance of your work, or on practical matters? Don’t know where to start in order to carry out your artistic plans? With our 'First Aid' programme, we want to help (starting) artists by giving them the information they need.

To get an answer on your questions, there are several possibilities: you can use the contact form or call us on 02 201 09 06 (ask for Nikol Wellens or Annelies Van den Berghe). Every second Tuesday afternoon, we also organise a 'First Aid @ VTi' session: we block our agendas from 2 pm to 5 pm to help starting artists with their questions about subsidy applications, infrastructure, artistic matters, contacts … These information sessions are personal, free and without appointment. You can find all practical details here. Any other activities we organise in the scope of First Aid, will be announced on this page.

open house

You are not only welcome on Tuesday afternoon. VTi is an open house on the 3rd and 4th floor of the Kaaitheater building that is accessible for everyone. We also have an extensive library collection that is spread out over the two floors. Visitors are welcome to work, meet, have a cup of coffee or browse through the library collection. Our collections contain a mine of information on the performing arts: except for books and reference works we also have scripts, magazines, newspaper cuttings and video. The VTi staff is there to help you find the information you need. You can consult the collections free of charge. If you would like to borrow materials, you pay a contribution of 5 € a year. Once registered, you will receive our magazine Courant 4 times a year. On data.vti.be, you can search through our library catalogue. A single click shows you a list of all the documents available on a particular subject.

We are open from Tuesday to Friday, from 10 am to 6 pm.

Welkom @ VTi!
