Young Collectors Festival
The second edition of the Young Collectors Festival will take place from 12 to 15 May, parallel to Amsterdam Art Week. During the festival you will discover the Amsterdam art scene in a new way, with as your headquarters our space at Hazenstraat 18. Brush up on your art knowledge with a masterclass, visit the studios of emerging artists, take a look inside special private collections and get to know other art lovers during the festive opening of the exhibition - featuring works by Bart Lunenburg, Brain Elstak, Mirjam Vreeswijk en Tian Teng - that is curated by our members.
Get ready for a long weekend full of art and fun! From an artistic beer tasting at Oedipus and casual Friday afternoon drinks to gallery tours, a visit to the Open Studios of the Rijksakademie, a masterclass in art handling, studio visits, a panel discussion about inclusive collecting and insights into remarkable private art collections. You can also take a look at an exhibition that was curated by our members, which will be festively opened on Thursday 12 May, 5-8PM.About the participating artists:
Brian Elstak is an illustrator, visual artist and connector between various creatives and storytellers. He is also part of the art collective LFMC (Lowrey Foley McClane).
Tian Teng: "There are elements in my life that are hard to express in words, things that I can express through painting. For me it has become the clearest medium to express myself."
Bart Lunenburg: "Within my multidisciplinary artist practice I explore themes around architecture, urbanism and architectural heritage. I approach buildings and cities as if they have a memory of their own."
Mirjam Vreeswijk's paintings explore the different layers of consciousness. As you look, you become confused by a constant process of revealing and concealing and changing from the manageable to the improbable.
