Hear ye, hear ye, peasants and lords; Liège is retracing its medieval roots this winter. Troubadours and storytellers will take you through the highlights of this rich period of history. Thanks to numerous exhibitions, conferences, culinary courses and other surprises, Liège is going back in time and taking you on an adventure.
 

From 29 October 2015 to 17 January 2016, immerse yourself in the Middle Ages and, over the course of three months, discover the “city of 100 clocks” through a wide range of activities.
 

The Academy of Fine Arts of Liège participates in the Masters Salon 2015, an exhibition that presents a selection of the best pictorial productions from Masters' students in Painting 2014–15, from the four Royal Academies of Fine Arts of Belgium (Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent and Liège).

Surrounded by the Boulevard de la Sauvenière, this historic, commercial and cultural district is the city's entertainment hub.

Come and discover two exhibitions that recount the daily lives of the people of Liège after the bloody fighting of August 1914.

Dacos, who was a professor of engraving at the Academy of Fine Arts in Liège and the co-founder of the Biennial of Engraving, the “La Poupée d’Encre” association, Dacos is ubiquitous when it comes to engraving.

He launched a project to create an award, which would support and encourage young engravers. In addition, the City of Liège, in close collaboration with the artist’s family, is organising the first edition of the Dacos Award this year, 2015.

Hope and optimism (by Gerrit Kempeneers) brings together a collection of works by 25 artists from all over the world, each interpreting the theme of hope and optimism in their own way.

This project has been proposed by AIGS, in collaboration with the REVERS not-for-profit association.
The works on display are partly produced in the workshops of CRF Le Maillet,
L’Intervalle, Le Sablier, SIS Les Cramignons and the REVERS cultural insertion system.

After the 2011 presentation of the collection of monumental paintings entitled "Garden of days" – which was intended to occupy the nave of the Saint Pholien church (Liège) – Olivier Pé (who was born in 1972 and worked in Liège) will be showcasing his new research in the halls of the Grand Curtius museum on 28 January.

During the construction of the high-speed line in Baelen in 2005, excavations showed that the village of Nereth had been occupied by Germans since the 4th century. The remains had then been updated.

The Liège artist Pol Piérart is honoured at the Palais Curtius between 10 March and 30 April 2016. Pol Piérart studied decorative painting at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Liège; he then became interested in photography.
