MORPHO is an Antwerp-based arts organisation that supports and connects artists in their artistic development, both locally and internationally. We give time and space to artists by setting up residency exchanges and renting workspaces below market value.

We advocate for the place of artists in the city at the level of studio policy and give visibility to their presence. Currently, we provide studios for more than 200 Antwerp-based artists, designers and makers in 14 buildings and organize residencies with some 20 visual artists from Belgium and abroad annually. In this dual way, we strive to create collaborative and solid grounds for artistic work.

The residency house is located behind the Zoo and Antwerp Central Station, where the organisation also has its offices. The adjacent former monastery houses the residency studios, our project space in the old refectory where we organise events and presentations by the artists in our network, and the monastery garden we share with our partner Kunsthal Extra City.
