Dexia Bank Belgium has taken art and culture to its heart since 1860. Alongside the acquisition, restoration and conservation of historically important buildings like the Osterrieth mansion in Antwerp (18th century) and the Bocholtz mansion in Liège, Dexia Bank is also committed to commissioning and acquiring Belgian art with aim of supporting those artists. These works are on permanent exhibition in Dexia offices. Loans to galleries for temporary or sometimes permanent exhibitions also enable a broader public to admire them. The Bank has a library open to the general public containing an impressive collection of documents on the history of Belgian towns and municipalities.

Dexia has been the major private sponsor of the Avignon Festival since 1983. This internationally renowned festival of theatre and dance enables creations to be presented later in numerous towns and cities in France and abroad. This sustainable commitment is in response to our desire to support the creation of vibrant shows and to promote cultural exchanges through the international influence of the Festival and the presentation of these shows in numerous towns and cities around Europe.
