Ensor was a loner, but not alone. Besides the grand master, other artists worked and exhibited in Ostend. After all, the city by the sea has always been a magnet for countless artists who stayed in Ostend either occasionally and sometimes for longer periods to work or to settle permanently. Some of them came into contact with Ensor or even befriended the man. By means of paintings, graphics, photos, documents, the City Museum is giving a stage to a number of these artists during the Ensor year with the exhibition 'In the shadow of the master, Ensor's contemporaries'.
The Ensor City Festival provides the ideal setting for a unique experience in group. The various exhibitions offer a fascinating insight into the world of James Ensor and his influence on the art world. The options are diverse and are tailor-made each time.
