The BelgianArtPrize 2027 jury, impressed by the quality of submissions, awarded three Special Jury Prizes alongside the main laureate selection. Jot Fau, Ariane Loze, and Guy Woueté will each receive €5,000 and participate in a group exhibition at the Ixelles Museum in late 2027. A conversation with the winners will be moderated by prize director Roxane Baeyens on Sunday, April 26, from 4:00 to 4:50 PM at the Tribune. Jot Fau, born in 1987, creates multidisciplinary works including sculptures, installations, and performance costumes that explore identity and memory. Brussels-born video artist Ariane Loze, represented by Galerie Michel Rein, examines perspective and identity through minimalist productions. Guy Woueté, a Cameroonian artist based in Antwerp, Douala, and Penja, investigates colonialism and migration through various media. Baeyens holds a Master's in Art Sciences from Ghent University and manages the Brussels Jazz Orchestra. Rossella Biscotti was named the 2027 laureate.
