GARAGE SALE

Come and get a bargain in our indoor garden and give the garden furniture a second life! On Saturday 29 April, we will clear Belle Epoque by Mat and Nikki. As spring cleaning is contagious, we invite our neighbours to come and sell their stuff at a flea market in the little park on the Houtkaai.

NETWERK AALST IS RENOVATING

March bundles several chores on the building site. The contractor installs the last ventilation ducts. A lot of interior walls are wrapped with fire-retardant panels. Here and there, masonry work takes place….
Meanwhile, we involve the future users of our house in a lot of decisions about the common areas, such as the entrance, foyer and kitchen.

THE NEIGHBOURS

On February 16th, the main building of Netwerk Aalst hosted a meeting of The Neighbours. A surprising name, isn’t it? Not quite. This name belongs to a judiciously organised event for friends intended to gather and to expand the social circle of cultural professionals not only from Aalst, but also from the nearby cities and countries.
