On 2 and 3 September GalleryViewer and Amsterdam Art host the start of the gallery season. During this festive weekend the Amsterdam galleries open their doors to the public with the first exhibition of the season. This is the opportunity to discover new contemporary art and to get informed about the latest developments in the art field. For the Opening of the Gallery Season, GalleryViewer developed a free map with all participating Amsterdam galleries. This will be available on September 3 at the GalleryViewer Hotspot at Keizersgracht 241 in Amsterdam.

The opening hours of the galleries during the Opening of the Gallery Season are:
- Friday 2 September: from 17:00 – 21:00

Tours
During the weekend Amsterdam Art put together two thematic tours along a number of galleries (free of charge).
TOUR 1: THIS IS FOR REAL (by foot)
What is real? What is imagination? In this tour we investigate how reality and imagination are intertwined in the work of a number of prominent Dutch and international photographers. More information and sign up here.
TOUR 2: THIS IS NOT FOR REAL (by bike)
What is imagination? What is real? In this tour, we visit a number of (group) exhibitions and dive into a world of mythical stories, virtual bodies, digital realities and real lies. More information and sign up here.
Online catalogue
All works of art exhibited during the opening of the gallery season can also be viewed in the online catalogue on Galleryviewer.com. In addition to the possibility to filter the offer by price and technique (for example painting or photography), GalleryViewer offers background information about the artists, with videos, recommendations and highlights from their oeuvre.
