Amsterdam Art

Reflecting on last Friday's gathering in Barcelona. Last week saw the opening of Manifesta Biennial 15 in Barcelona, attracting quite a few art professionals to the city. andrea rodriguez novoa (Co-Director of Barcelona Gallery Weekend) and our director Martina Halsema decided to spontaneously organise a casual drinks event for local, Dutch, Spanish, and international art professionals. It was a delightful gathering where we had the opportunity to meet, network, and toast. 
 Thank you The Social Hub, Frank Uffen, and Maria Jesus Guirado for your hospitality and hosting us on your lovely rooftop!

Het nieuwe seizoen van cultuurmakers is van start! Met de meeste kunstopleidingen van Nederland barst Amsterdam van het talent. Maar wie moeten we dit culturele seizoen in de gaten houden? De redactie van amsterdam&partners vroeg het aan 9 toonaangevende instanties, elk met hun eigen specialiteit: Over het IJ, Melkweg, Foam Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam, Het Concertgebouw, De Kleine Komedie, Scheltema, HTNK, Amsterdam Art en Julidans.   In samenwerking met That's What She Set zijn er van deze 9 talenten mini-documentaires gemaakt, waarin het gaat over hun inspiratie en hun band met de stad. Iedere maand komt er een nieuwe documentaire uit. Te beginnen met de tip van Over het IJ: theatermaker en performer Didi Kreike.

Last Friday, Capital C and Sijthoff Media hosted the Highest Herring Party on the roof of Capital C, with its beautiful glass dome and 360 - degree view of Amsterdam. Over 500 guests enjoyed fresh herring, live music, and an enthusiastic auction for an exclusive artwork. As proud members of the Capital C community we are happy to announce that the amount raised by the auction is donated to the Amsterdam Art Foundation. Willem Sijthoff, founder of Capital C, founder and CEO of Sijthoff Media and also co-founder and former member of the advisory board of Amsterdam Art decided to organise this event annually after a very successful edition last year. This year's auction featured a unique herring barrel designed by renowned artist Arno Coenen known for the iconic mural in Rotterdam's Market Hall and inspired by Keith Haring. Amsterdam Art Director Martina Halsema stated, "Art has the power to bring people together, and together we achieve so much more than alone. Collaboration and community is key and just like Capital C, Amsterdam Art is committed to connecting communities with each other (and with contemporary art) and making them accessible. We are all ambassadors of the creativity that makes Amsterdam so special. That's why we keep looking for new friendships and ways to join hands and harness our collective strength." 
 Thank you to Capital C Amsterdam, Willem Sijthoff and Sijthoff Media for our longstanding friendship and collaboration, the artist Arno Coenen and the highest bidder for supporting our mission and vision.

Our Director, Martina Halsema, shares her thoughts and impressions of the mini-symposium held during Amsterdam Art Week 2024. This event was one of the major milestones, providing a platform for discussing crucial topics and current issues in the art and culture sector. Together with panelists and participants we engaged in an open discussion on the resilience and adaptability of the arts and cultural sectors in the face of rapidly evolving political and social environments. Big thanks to our panel speakers Emily Pethick, Josien Pieterse, and Tessa Giller; our keynote speakers Rubiah Balsem and Reza Afisina; and our moderator, Kirsten van den Hul; and to all our guests and international visitors, who actively participated in the discussions and shared their experiences.
