During WOW Open AIR the public could experience a full evening of the offerings of fifty talented artists. Musicians played in the nooks and crannies of the building; art and design were shown everywhere; plus videos by the most promising filmmakers were screened in one of the studio’s.

Open AIR stands for a collective outburst of all the creativity WOW has in store: musical, visual, digital, culinary. AIR means Artist In Residence: they were open to those who’d like to get to know them better.
