Contemporary Art Belgium was created in May 2012 for foreign visitors on the occasion of several major 2012 exhibitions in Belgium.
The initiative was launched by various galleries in several cities and is supported by BAM, the Flemish institute for visual, audiovisual and media art.

The selection of venues was made by two independent committees: one for the private galleries, and one for institutions. The exhibition details are pooled from existing databases.

The print version of the Contemporary Art Belgium can be found in the participating galleries and institutions.
