ABOUT DEMAIN

INCUBATOR FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF ARTISTS

At DEMAIN, we are dedicated to bolstering the Belgian art community by providing a distinguished platform that connects emerging artists with a broad network of collectors, curators, and galleries. Our mission is to champion and promote Belgium-based emerging artists who are currently unrepresented, aiding them in gaining visibility and advancing their artistic practices while preserving their autonomy. Since our inception in June 2020, DEMAIN has successfully facilitated gallery representations for multiple artists by attracting the attention of esteemed collectors, curators, and gallerists.
what we stand for
- Discover Emerging Talent
  At DEMAIN, we are passionate about nurturing Belgium’s emerging artists by offering them a platform during the pivotal pre-gallery phase. By connecting early collectors with these rising talents, we create opportunities for meaningful contributions to the artists' careers through early acquisitions.
- BUY QUALITY ART AT ACCESSIBLE PRICES
  We believe that high-quality art should be both accessible and fair. Our works, meticulously curated, are offered at studio prices ranging from €350 to €10,000. With transparent pricing, 60% of all sales on the platform go directly to the artists, ensuring a fair and ethical process.
- Meet the Artists in their studio: The Power of Connection
  Our mission is to strengthen the local art ecosystem by spotlighting Belgian-based artists and creating opportunities for collectors to meet them. These personal encounters transform an artwork into a lasting memory, enriched by the story and vision behind its creation.
WHO ARE WE?

DEMAIN was established by two fervent advocates of the Belgian art scene. Florence Derck, is the co-founder of DEMAIN. Recognized among Belgium's '40 under 40', she previously served as the director of Gladstone Gallery Brussels. Before her tenure at Gladstone Gallery, Florence gained valuable experience at Christie's London, a renowned international auction house.

She holds a degree in Business Engineering, which has equipped her with a strong foundation in both business and the arts. In 2022, under her leadership, DEMAIN was honored with the 'Bold Women Future Award' by Veuve Clicquot. Florence's journey in the art world began with entrepreneurial ventures, such as selling keychains along the coast, reflecting her early passion for art and business. Her extensive experience and innovative approach continue to drive DEMAIN's mission to promote and support the next generation of artists.
DEMAIN started from the wish to bring change. Complex, opaque, non-eco-friendly and often perceived as elitist, the art world needed a shake-up.
