Did you hear that Asiat Park’s got a new Niteshop? What started as a hidden hangout during the festival has quietly unpacked its bags and decided to stay.

Tucked near Paradeplein, this isn’t your standard corner store. A hole-in-the-wall radio station, a design studio, a snack shack… Niteshop shapeshifts. Backed by and , you can too.

In its bones, the space is a springboard for young creatives looking to pitch and collaborate with likeminded people, and take ideas into action. Or just to link up for a drink, have a chinwag and listen to music. You do you.

Niteshop is part of Horst Expo ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’. We’re open!

Designed by & . Special thanks to , .gielen.ok, and the tireless Horst Atelier volunteers.

Sensory mischief jockeys Buro Crato led Horst to water, and so we drank. In a hidden corner of the festival, lost but lucky strays swapped out their dancing feet for prancing hooves and the wondrous world of dressage.

Did you let the reins slip? Told you our dead ends were alive 🐎

Each night of the festival, Eddie Peake’s ‘The Pervert’ unfolded in the Rain Room. Unfiltered, immediate, and charged with presence. This Friday, he returns to Belgium for his first solo exhibition with our partner .be in Antwerp. Don’t miss it!

After the festival come soft rains 🌱 Horst Expo is (re)opening its doors in exactly one week, Thursday May 15th!

The namesake of Sara Teasdale’s 1918 poem ‘There Will Come Soft Rains,’ this year’s theme traces the cycles of rebirth and evolution, celebrating the radical persistence of nature – its ability to seep, to grow, to flourish.

Site-specific commissions sit in conversation with Asiat Park, its history, and its transformation; probing the intersections of art, identity, and community. Several installations are built to stay, melding into the ever-evolving landscape in both function and form.

Registration for the vernissage is not obliged but encouraged: https://form.typeform.com/to/mdH019v5.

Horst Arts & Music

Horst is a movement dedicated to developing talent, cities & spaces. We blend & celebrate the worlds of arts & music. We build Labs, Exhibitions, and Festivals as momentums of transformative energy.

From 2014 to 2018, Horst Arts & Music took place on the idyllic Castle grounds in Holsbeek. It grew into an internationally renowned platform for showcasing cutting-edge electronic music, inventive in-situ art, and architecture. This new chapter builds on the insights from over the past five years but touches wider than ever before.

As the first expression of our new ambitions, Horst will unfold into a cutting-edge Lab, an Exhibition with new in-situ artwork and a immersive three-day Festival. With these initiatives, we strive to further develop young and creative talent and positively impact spaces and cities where we operate. All of this by employing art & music as catalysts.
