Open Calls Performance Nights
OPEN CALL Performance Lecture Night
We organise an evening on the 3rd of December focusing on the medium of performance lecture. It is an invitation to shed light to, and scrutinize the relationship between art and academia, blending academic format with artistic, embodied experience. If you are interested in balancing, challenging or exposing the boundary between art and an academic format, this is your opportunity !
THEME
Additionally, we invite you to work on the theme of Space.
For the past 5 years, the Hub has been a space for young artists to propose fresh perspectives, practices and alternative ways of working and navigating the contemporary art world. Now that the time in our space on Varkensstraat comes to an end, we invite artists to reflect on Space: occupying, creating or intervening in physical space, body and practices in online space, feminist perspectives on reclaiming space, the invisible mental or imaginative spaces, the housing crisis or any other approach you can think of that connects to the theme.
After the performances there will be artist talks and Q&A with the artists.
LOOKING FOR
We invite artists that are preferably in the beginning of their artistic career. This can mean that you’re a student, just graduated and finding your way in the art field or rediscovering your position as an artist. At the Hub we find it important to be a space for everyone who wants to share their work and thoughts.
The curation of this evening will be done based on how it all will come together as a whole, the feasibility of the performance in The Hub and the diversity of the performances.

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!
