GEZOCHT: Beginnende kunstenaars!

Are/or do you know a budding artist whose work is ready to be shown to the world? Are you looking for a wider audience and ready to sell your art? Then we have good news! Because on Saturday, June 22 from 11:00 am, Tolhuistuin is hosting the LET'S F*CKING PAY FOR ART market.

The market is specially designed to give beginning artists a stage. Because a physical space, next to the online world, often seems harder to find for starting markers. During the market, artist can present and then sell their work. Besides the presentation and sale of art, there will also be food stands and live music by young creators for a cozy summer setting in the garden. So that local entrepreneurs and art institutions from Amsterdam can meet the emerging talent.

Collaborations

For the art market, we will collaborate with several art institutions that will help curate. They will also be present to give advice and to spot possible talent.

Kunstmarkt Noord
Kunstmarkt Noord is a growing initiative that offers young/beginning artists a platform to professionalize, earn money and build a creative network. This monthly art market, which takes place every last Sunday of the month between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. at Expocafé ZAMEN, aims to make art both financially and socially accessible to a wide audience.

LFMC
LFMC is an interdisciplinary creative collective from the Netherlands, founded in 2011 by visual artist Brian Elstak. Through collaborative projects, we offer a multi-rooted perspective to the Dutch creative community.

Treehouse NDSM
Treehouse NDSM is an arts incubator located in Amsterdam’s creative heart. Our goal is to foster the growth of creatives from diverse disciplines and help them bring their projects to life. We do this by offering 105 individual and affordable studios for rent, access to exhibition and performance spaces, and the opportunity to be part of a vibrant artistic community. We also offer a diverse cultural programme, which includes the monthly concert series “Live at Our Place”, jam sessions, art exhibitions, theatre plays, performances, open mics for writers, and much more.

Additional information

• Registration through the market is possible until May 26 via this link. In the week of May 27 you will hear whether your registration is final.
  
• Participation in the market is free. We only ask for a €30 deposit that you will receive back after the event.
  
• The market is to give beginning artists (max. 5 years) a chance. This can be from an art school, but of course, self-taught artists are also welcome.
  
• Due to the number of stalls available, we have to make a selection if there are too many applications.
  
• The stalls you can reserve are 3 meters. You can choose in the registration form whether you need a whole or half stall. This way we can hopefully give more beginning artists a chance to participate.
  
• It is not possible to get to the stall by car. However, it is possible to unload briefly at the entrance to the garden. So please think carefully about how to move your art.
