La Maison des Arts in Schaerbeek, Brussels, can be hired for professional dinners, seminars, meetings, weddings, small parties and filming. The ground floor holds up to 175 guests and the vaulted cellars take 50 seated or 80 standing. The venue is a neoclassical bourgeois house with a classical garden, at Chaussée de Haecht 147.
Seminars and company events
The official site lists professional dinners, seminars, meetings, retreats and photo or film shoots among the uses. Three rental formats exist. The whole house combines all indoor spaces, the first floor and the cellars, and suits larger events such as seminars and weddings. The workshops, or a single room, suit meetings and retreats. The cellars alone suit small gatherings. The house also runs its own exhibitions and activities, and the site states that use of the spaces is prioritized for that programming, so dates need to be confirmed early.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are named among the events. The ground-floor salons and the garden give a natural sequence for a reception, and the cellars can be turned into a dance floor for an evening. The garden can be used but not privatized during the opening hours of the Estaminet, the house cafe, which are Tuesday to Saturday from 11:00 to 17:00.
Rooms and capacities
The ground floor covers 201 m2 and holds 175 guests. It includes a hall, two salons in Louis XV and Louis XVI style, a library, a dining room and a veranda. The first floor covers 154 m2 and holds 120 guests, in five rooms of different sizes. The workshops cover 30 m2 and take 15 to 20 people, a size that suits a working meeting. The cellars are vaulted brick rooms with independent access. They cover 69 m2 and take 50 seated or 80 standing, with two main reception rooms, a bar, a cloakroom, a small kitchen and three toilets. The sinks there have no hot water.
Equipment and practical terms
The house supplies 50 wooden school-style chairs, 50 red velvet chairs and 10 rectangular wooden tables that seat four. Large marquees can be set up in the garden. The venue provides no crockery and no sound or lighting equipment, so a conference or party needs a technical supplier. Fire and liability insurance is required and must match the number of days of occupation. The venue handles heavy cleaning with water, while tenants clear and sort their own waste and take it away.
Catering
You may bring any caterer. The Estaminet can supply the bar or light food. A food truck can be arranged on request. Plan crockery and a kitchen setup with your caterer, since the cellar kitchen is small.
History and setting
The Maison des Arts is described as a neoclassical bourgeois house, and its own calendar marks 200 years of the house in 2026. It combines period salons, a garden with a pond and fountain, and an exhibition programme, so the setting suits events with an artistic or cultural tone.
Getting there
The house stands on Chaussée de Haecht in Schaerbeek. The courtyard has room for up to four cars. Larger groups should plan public transport or street parking, and confirm access with the team.
