About VHDG

VHDG (in full: Voorheen de Gemeente) is an idiosyncratic art initiative with a focus on experimentation, contemporary art and talent development. In our art events, artists take a fresh look at current themes.  

With exhibitions and art programs on topics such as the past and future of neighborhoods in Leeuwarden, the forgotten traditions of agriculture in our province and the future of food production, or on the position and experiences of newcomers in the Frisian province.

We do this by letting artists look at the local environment and her history. What do local stories tell us about the world in which we live? At VHDG we are curious, activistic and innovative. Take a look at our projects for more information.
