From Saturday, the 13th of April until Sunday the 19th of May, the 'Coup de Ville' arts trail will once again accelerate the pulse of the heart of Sint-Niklaas.

With the theme Artists & Athletes: the hill they climb, we are reigniting the feud between body and mind. After all, both in art and in sports people dream of the top! Opposite domains? An unbridgeable split? Yet in both, fame or tragedy feel equally intense. But what exactly is the meaning and what scope do aspects such as: talent, discipline, style, limitation, duration or strength have in both art and sport? These differences and similarities will be explored in detail in the upcoming Coup de Ville.

Do you want to stroll or do you prefer jogging? To enjoy the trail, each chooses their own tempo. Drawings, sculptures, paintings, videos, installations, glory and labour will be shown in nine remarkable places. Not only are 40 artists involved, but also coaches, athletes with Olympic ambitions and G-sport athletes are entering our stage. Throughout the exhibition there will also be introductions, workshops, interviews and other activities.

Coup de Ville 2024: a GAMECHANGER.

I have a digital entrance ticket. Can I visit all locations upon presentation of my digital ticket?

Each visitor starts their visit at one of our two reception points. There your digital entrance ticket will be scanned and in place you will receive a trail ticket with the walking route. On presentation of this trail ticket, you can enter anywhere.

Are there any discounts?

Children age 11 and younger, accompanied by an adult, enjoy free admission. There is also a discount for people with a 'kansenpas'.

And someone with a little less is welcome to consume one of the pre-treated drinks.
