UPCOMING
April 2nd - Crafting Cultural Experiences
On the first Wednesday of April we invited Vitor van Gaever to come all the way from Eindhoven to Arnhem and share his knowledge on creative producing with us. What does it take to create a cultural event that truly connects with your audience? How do you balance the needs of artists, venues, and the city wile staying true to your artistic vision?
In this hands-on workshop with Vitor van Gaever, we’ll work around questions like: How do you turn your creative ideas into a concrete, actionable plan? What are best strategies for marketing and funding your project? How do you ensure your event has a lasting impact on both your community and the cultural scene?
Vitor van Gaever is an initiator, program maker and creative producer. With a background in research, trend forecasting and innovation. He explores the intersection of identity, societal impact and co-creation. Not for but with each other. As a co-founder of Alter Club and Alter Expo, van Gaever shapes Eindhoven’s (night) culture. He initiates dialogue and creates platforms with creators and thinkers who challenge, provoke and redefine perspectives.

March - May Arnhem School of Social Arts with Tina Lenz & Jesper Pouw
How can you, as a maker, work from your own makership and at the same time respond to issues that are playing a role in society? How do you create together with communities that are outside your own bubble? In these two Courses of 5 evenings, we will investigate this together with a professional artist. In addition, you will be provided with tools that you can use to make contact from your practice, so that you can investigate social issues in a different way.
Past Events
What the Hub?!
Every first Wednesday of the month we host our regular program at The Hub. Topics range from open calls, connection with the region to the bumps in the road of building an art practice, we come across it all.
In addition to a substantive part, there is always room for conversation and the evening ends with an act or activity.
Meet me in the Hallway
In collaboration with Culture Making Artez, we present:
Meet me in the hallway
Every third Thursday of the month an ArtEZ alumnus from Art & Design will return to the academy where their artistic practices began. For one day they can use the school, create work and interact with students. The week after the residency an artist discussion will take place at The Hub. In this conversation, two alumni will talk about their work and the residency before handing over “the keys of the hallways of ArtEZ”.
How to ZZP
In our “How to ZZP” program we will try to tackle all the difficulties that come along with being a cultural entrepreneur. We talk about hourly rates, taxes, profiling, and many more!
