Amsterdam Art Week Kick Off

Amsterdam Art, in collaboration with Amsterdam Museum and Pakhuis de Zwijger, presents a dynamic program in which we discuss the theme of hospitality. Hospitality in art, but also towards the non-art world. How do we strive for more openness within the sectors and art disciplines?

Martina Halsema (director of Amsterdam Art) and Margriet Schavemaker (Amsterdam Museum) will talk to Emily Ansenk (Holland Festival) and Lara Khaldi (De Appel) and other players in the Amsterdam field, among others. The conversations are interspersed with spoken word interventions and provide a nice insight into the Amsterdam Art Week program and into our future perspective in which we believe in the power of collaboration.

We close the evening with a drink to continue talking with the audience.
