Les Ateliers Claus

In the heart of Brussels, a pulsating hub of creativity thrives. Les Ateliers Claus, an independent cultural venue, has been a haven for music and the arts since 2007. Les Ateliers Claus isn’t just a building. It’s a living, breathing testament to the power of artistic expression. Originally housed in a family building belonging to the Claus family, Les Ateliers Claus found its current home in Saint-Gilles in 2013. The renovation, a blend of new construction and existing structure, cost 1.6 million euros. The architects, Ouest Architecture, designed a space that seamlessly integrates with the dense urban surroundings. Les Ateliers Claus boasts two performance halls, a ground floor space and a unique “box within a box” on the first floor. Both are equipped for recordings and audience enjoyment. Imagine the energy within these walls. Artists from Belgium and around the globe converge here. They create, collaborate, and share their unique sounds. From the chaotic punk rock of Still House Plants to the minimalistic soundscapes of Roxane Metayer, Les Ateliers Claus embraces diverse genres. The venue’s commitment to sound quality is evident. The “box within a box” design and acoustic treatments minimize noise pollution. This allows for captivating musical experiences without disturbing the surrounding neighborhood. Les Ateliers Claus isn’t just about performance. It’s also a space for creation. Artists-in-residence utilize the venue’s resources. They compose, record, and bring their visions to life. The in-house label, Les Albums Claus, further supports this creative ecosystem. It releases a diverse range of live and studio albums. Les Ateliers Claus continues to evolve. It’s a space where artists and audiences connect. It’s a place where experimentation and innovation thrive. It is a vibrant cultural gem in the heart of Brussels. Les Ateliers Claus invites you to experience the magic of music and art.
