Vleeshal Center for Contemporary Art organises contemporary art exhibitions and projects at Vleeshal Markt in Middelburg, The Netherlands. Vleeshal Markt is located in Middelburg’s former town hall, on the market square. Characterized by its distinct Gothic architecture, Vleeshal Markt is a unique space. The venue has inspired many artists to create extraordinary exhibitions, bringing Vleeshal international renown. In addition to Vleeshal Markt, Vleeshal organised exhibitions in a second exhibition space: Vleeshal Zusterstraat. As a result of municipal cutbacks, Vleeshal is no longer able to maintain this second exhibition space. The library at Zusterstraat will remain open to the public until fall 2017. Vleeshal's other tasks also involve the implementation of Middelburg’s policy for art in the public space; the composition, management, maintenance and restoration of the municipal art collection, including public artworks; and the execution of council policy on subsidies to individual artists. Vleeshal receives financial support from the council of Middelburg and the Mondriaan Fund.
