Artist Village Eindhoven
Together with Make Eindhoven (NL) we hosted the 2024 Artist Village which took place from August 2nd until August 4th.
During these three days of meetings, conversations, lectures and reflection fundamental questions will be raised in an empathic atmosphere. The core of this event are one-on-one conversations with experienced professionals from the international art scene.
Even at more advanced stages of ones career, it isimportant to have mentorship and support in a professional capacity. The range of conversations and feedback will provide you with a whole set of ideas andways for further developing your practice. The final goal is to create a sustainable network.
