What Incidence, La Fédération de la Créativité et des Arts en amateur does

Incidence, La Fédération de la Créativité et des Arts en amateur, is a Belgian non-profit federation (ASBL) founded in 1976 and headquartered in Namur, Belgium. It serves as the official representative body for the creativity and amateur arts sector in Wallonia-Brussels, specifically representing Centres d'Expression et de Créativité (CEC) and Fédérations de Pratiques Artistiques en Amateur (FPAA) member organizations. The federation's core function is advocacy, representation, training, and regulatory guidance for its member organizations before the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles and other public authorities.

The federation's service portfolio includes a member services platform providing tools, analyses, projects, and training resources; the CUBE Project (focus-incidence.be) for sector visibility; and the Culture Plus training catalog offering 30 modules of professional development. Its technology footprint is non-proprietary and limited to a WordPress-based website, a member login area, newsletter distribution, and social media presence. Distribution occurs through a direct membership model, with services delivered via the website, member space, events, and direct consultation.

The federation's business model relies primarily on public subsidies and grants from the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, including operating subsidies, Maribel social fund support, and APE employment aid, supplemented by nominal membership contributions and fees from Culture Plus training. The organization operates within a strictly regional scope in Wallonia, Belgium, with no disclosed revenue figures, headcount data, or expansion outside its designated territorial remit.
