VALUES & ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
VIERNULVIER is not a model, it is an attitude. The attitude of an Art Institution that wants to challenge itself and the art field, that wants to care for artists, the public, volunteers, and employees.”
- Franky Devos, general coordinator
Solidarity is the core value within the policy of VIERNULVIER. This is reflected not only in our history and our program but also in our daily actions. Solidarity means, among other things, that the majority listens to the experiences of minorities and works towards a mental and physical space that is fair and inclusive for everyone.
VIERNULVIER has a horizontal organizational structure. Management is carried out by a team that meets weekly. This team consists of a core group of twelve people, supplemented by any VIERNULVIER employee who wants to bring an agenda item to the table. Colleagues organize themselves within coordination teams, expertise teams, realization teams, and future teams. In this collaborative model, the focus, in addition to functions, is on roles. These roles are interchangeable, allowing everyone at VIERNULVIER to take the lead. Transparent internal communication is crucial to make this workable.
