Argos was founded in 1989 as a distribution centre for artists' film and video. Although it is still
involved in the international distribution of films, videos and multimedia installations today, it has
developed into an important organisation involved in the production, conservation, archiving and
presentation of audiovisual and visual arts. Argos is a presentation platform, offering a wide-ranging program of exhibitions, film and video showings, lectures and performances. It is also an important documentation centre with a library that is unique in Belgium. Also its preservation program, dedicated to the stocking and preservation of Belgium's audiovisual art patrimony, is a project highly praised.
