Maurits van Saene was a great advocate of professional skill in the art. That is why this is embedded as a prior condition at the aims of the Foundation.

In order to realize these aims of the Foundation, we took counsel together, about a cooperation with the City of Ninove, Cultural Department. Unfortunately the City of Ninove was not willing to fully subscribe the aims, as laid down in the statutes of the Foundation.

As a compensation of an annual grant, the Cultural Department of the City immediately wanted to have the disposal of the key of the House Van Saene, to determine the agenda and to introduce botch- and conceptual-art into the Museum Van Saene.

This point of vue of the Cultural Department made an agreement unworkable and therefore impossible.
The board of the Foundation is now considering other options.
