Amsterdam Art Week showcases art by 300 artists
From May 21 to May 25, Amsterdam will once again be transformed into a vibrant epicenter of contemporary art, with more than 300 artists exhibiting their works at more than 70 venues across the city. This range of venues includes galleries, museums, project spaces, residencies and private collections.
Amsterdam Art Week is not only a celebration of art, but also an invitation for both local and international audiences to discover the versatility of the artistic landscape. It is a moment of exposure for artists and an opportunity for visitors to experience a diverse range of leading and experimental exhibitions and events. Moreover, it is the only time of year when Amsterdam's entire contemporary art community comes together and performs collectively.
The program promises a dynamic mix of more than 80 events spread across various locations in Amsterdam. Whether you are a newcomer to the gallery world, a seasoned art collector, or simply an enthusiast looking to broaden your horizons, Amsterdam Art Week offers a compass in the contemporary art world.
"We are a global city on a small scale, very charming, but with top international talent. Amsterdam has a history as an incubator where talented, young artists from all over the world can flourish, making it the perfect place of discovery. Amsterdam Art Week is the moment on the contemporary art calendar where the city reaches its artistic peak. The ideal time to lose yourself in leading or experimental exhibitions and events where art institutions reveal their talent to a global audience." - Martina Halsema, director
