Thanks to its players, the National Lottery is able to support culture, sport, scientific research, sustainable development, the fight against poverty, development cooperation, solidarity initiatives and many other causes. The National Lottery is a major supporter of Belgian culture.
True to the values it holds dear, the National Lottery promotes solidarity and equal access to art.
Over the years, it has supported several projects at the Trinkhall Museum, enabling the museum to better achieve its goals of inclusion and openness.
In 2026, thanks to the National Lottery and its players, the Trinkhall Museum is presenting the temporary exhibition ‘Ancrages’, which honours Danièle Lemaire (1939–2025), who was active at the Ateliers du 94 for over thirty years, and her mother, the artist Hélène Locoge (1905–2005).
With this exhibition, the Trinkhall Museum forcefully reaffirms the convictions underpinning its project – a project that is at once artistic, cultural and societal: to protect, promote and disseminate the works of artists who are often relegated to the margins, or even excluded, from the cultural sector and the established art world due to their intellectual disability or mental illness. This exhibition places Danièle Lemaire within a vibrant artistic milieu, recognising her as a full member and a true protagonist of that milieu.
