I am a Brussels-based freelance journalist and arts writer with 10+ years of experience covering contemporary culture for print and online publications.

I began my career at The Word, an independent Belgian culture magazine, where I learned the craft of magazine-making from the ground up. Since then, I have worked as a freelance journalist for publications in Belgium, Germany, France, and the UK, while also writing texts for artists and cultural projects. I run seeyouthere.be, an online magazine highlighting Belgium’s art and culture scenes.

In 2019, I published ‘Isle of Art – A Journey Through Iceland’s Art Scene’, the result of three months of on-site research and conversations with artists, curators, gallerists, and collectors.

In addition to my arts writing, I have worked as a political journalist and staff writer at The Parliament Magazine, where I covered EU policy and reported on human rights issues, including Belgium’s asylum system.

I’m always open to commissions, collaborations, and new projects - you can reach me at sarah.schug@gmail.com
