We look back on a very successful Art Week!
From 20–25 May, Amsterdam once again transformed into a vibrant hub of contemporary art during the anticipated Amsterdam Art Week. This inspiring edition brought together over 70 galleries, museums, residencies, project spaces, creative hubs, private collections, and art schools to celebrate the very best of contemporary art.
Throughout the week, artists, curators, collectors, and art lovers from around the world gathered in the city for a rich and diverse programme of exhibitions, special events, and unique encounters. From seasoned collectors to curious newcomers, Amsterdam Art Week offered something for everyone — a chance to fully immerse themselves in the city’s dynamic and ever-evolving art scene.
