“Art Trek 6” unites young and international graphic talent in Antwerp
The sixth edition of the yearly exhibition Art Trek opens on August 1st at Galerie Mekanik in Antwerp. An inspiring discovery of the contemporary alternative art scene is assured with this new international selection of fourteen young artists - the Sixth Generation. This generation engages itself in a time where digitalisation and globalization go hand in hand with a growing desire for authenticity, crafts, creativity and personal contact. Street artists, illustrators, comic book artists and graphic designers meet each other and exchange inspiration on the internet. An initiative like Art Trek makes these meetings between creative souls possible in real life, and concretisizes the hybrid and colourful movement they are part of for the outside world.
