Frequently asked questions
Which is the largest employer in Arts creation and performing arts activities in Hainaut?
Among companies, Mars, Mons Arts de la Scène, with 70.8 full-time equivalents reported (financial year 2025).

Not necessarily: headcount is reported by the company for all its sites, and the company is ranked by the address of its registered office. 41 out of 156 companies in the sector report employees there.
Why does this ranking differ from other lists?
