Opened on 1 September 2008, Rossicontemporary is run by Francesco Rossi, a Brussels-based Italian art historian. Rossicontemporary intends to give young emerging artists the opportunity to grow and fulfil their potential in a professional context and to offer collectors and art-lovers' a selection of artworks of high standard artistic quality. The main gallery space was redesigned in June 2014, with the addition of a new exhibition space, two large showcases and a storage room. The gallery, the mezzanine gallery, the new space and the project space host each year about twenty individual and group exhibitions, mostly focusing on contemporary painting, drawing, sculpture and photography.
