About
Arteconomy is – since 2022 - owned and managed by Koen Snoeckx.
Through his company Luscinus, he became an expert in setting up collaborations between the cultural and creative industries and other sectors. Within Arteconomy, he is flanked by a team of skilled experts and partners from the fields of art and entrepreneurship.
The origins of Arteconomy date back to 2002, when Julie Vandenbroucke founded Arteconomy as a non-for profit. As a true pioneer, she brought artists into companies to work around pressing business challenges, be it about product innovation or corporate culture.
