Dear friends, close and far,
We received the devastating news from AFK (Amsterdam Fund for the Arts) that they will no longer support our program and our organization in the coming years. This comes on top of the blow we already suffered earlier this summer when we found out that (for a second time in two years) we will not be receiving structural funding from the Mondriaan Fund for the period 2025-2028, despite a positive assessment of our plans and a conviction of our artistic voice. This mean that Kunstverein will not be able to continue its existence. The Netherlands will lose (yet one more) unique institute, averse to temporary trends, that it has championed, invested in and held close for so many years.
We are heartbroken
