Gallery Sofie Van de Velde: Spirit of Collaboration and Shared Opportunities

Sofie Van de Velde stands for entrepreneurship in art. The gallery focuses on representing artists within a strong international network through participation in art fairs and exhibitions. The gallery collaborates with artists to identify strategies to elevate their art to the next level. Departing from the traditional competition-oriented gallery model, Sofie Van de Velde embraces a philosophy centered around collaboration, shared opportunities, and networks.

Gallery Sofie Van de Velde shares space at Nieuw Zuid with PLUS-ONE Gallery. Both galleries share a common philosophy, believing in a positive attitude of collaboration. At the same time, they maintain their own perspective on artistic choices.

In 2020, the gallery opened a second space in Antwerp. This platform is dedicated to solo exhibitions by Belgian and foreign masters.
