Opek, Vaartkom - Limited Edition Lino Print

From a place that stored goods to a place that nurtures ideas. This limited-edition lino print by Belgian graphic illustration artist Wietse Palmans offers a personal perspective on OPEK, the vibrant cultural centre in Leuven’s Vaartkom, celebrating a building with a story far beyond its walls.

Originally built in 1956 as a customs warehouse and storage facility, OPEK has found a new life as a meeting place for art and culture. Today, people gather here to share a meal, take part in workshops and develop performances, connecting Leuven’s industrial past with its creative present.

Hung in your home, this print brings a little of that creative spirit into your everyday surroundings. Perhaps it recalls an evening at a performance, a conversation over dinner or a walk through Vaartkom. Or perhaps it is the meeting of architecture, history and an artist’s perspective that draws you in. Display it in a favourite corner or alongside other collected works, as a piece that invites conversation and keeps a special part of Leuven close.
