Contemporary Van Eyck ambassadors

2020 is the Van Eyck year in Ghent.

As an inhabitant of Ghent, you can spotlight the famous painter(s) of the Ghent Altarpiece in your own way and according to your own talent. You will then become a ‘Van Eyck ambassador’. With your help, we can promote Jan Van Eyck’s legacy, which is an important part of our city’s DNA, far beyond the city limits!
 
Make your own ‘masterpiece'
Do you have ideas to welcome visitors,  to build a workshop,  to make a photo or video report, or do you want to make your own painting or artwork in a Van Eyck way?
Sign up and share and discuss your masterpieces with your teacher and classmates. You can post them here.
