Whether viewing Rembrandts at the Rijksmuseum, visiting the Van Gogh Museum, or musing on the modern and contemporary art collection of the Stedelijk Museum, art lovers have long found a lot to love about Amsterdam.
But while the city is best known for its historical art attractions, it is increasingly becoming home to a vibrant scene of commercial galleries and project spaces. These will be highlighted in the 12th edition of Amsterdam Art Week, running through June 2nd, where 76 locations for contemporary art will partake in a series of talks, performances, gallery tours, and parties.
For younger galleries, Christina Voulgari, director and co-founder of Enari Gallery, echoed this sentiment. “Since our opening a year and a half ago, we’ve been pleased to witness an expansion in the diversity of artists showcased in galleries and cultural spaces across the city,” she noted. “We eagerly anticipate the emergence of more young galleries, bringing fresh perspectives and innovative gallery models to Amsterdam’s thriving art scene.”
