UPDATE

Full of pride, Arti et Amicitiae presents its new artist members in this eclectic exhibition!

In 2023, as many as 34 new artists became members of artist association Arti et Amicitiae. The group was so large that they could not all fit together in one exhibition. The second half of the new artist members from 2023 are with 16 visual artists! They are showing their work in the beautiful halls of Arti. In the multifaceted exhibition UPDATE, they are unpacking a presentation of their works, from small drawings to large installations. 

Artists:
Allard Kaai, Bernardien Wels, Godelieve Smulders, Isidoor Wens, Jan Wisse, Jos den Brok, Karen Oude Alink, Lisanne Sloots, Monika Auch, Paul Allender, Peter Vink, Piet v.d. Kar, Pieter Athmer, Pieter Numan, Saskia Moro, Virginia Monteverde and Willy Looyen.

Program:

Saturday March 8, 3.00 PM - 5.00 PM | Performativity presentation ARTCEB | Exhibition halls

A performativity presentation about ART CENTER BOTOPASI (ARTCEB) in Surinam and lecture about the Artceb International Residency program (AIRP). With alumni: Marja van Putten and Wim Vonk, who were in Artceb 10 years ago, Jellie Klaster and Ursula Neubauer and Frans Saris, who were in Artceb 10 years later.
