New year, new VHDG Art Market!
From textiles to prints, postcards, zines, and paintings, photographs, ceramics, and more, we look back on three amazing market editions in which 17 artists showcased and sold their work at VHDG. Looking into the new year, it is now time to prepare for new art market editions, and for this, we are looking for new makers who would like to be part of them!
Are you based in the North (Friesland, Drenthe, Groningen), and are you in the first years of your practice? Are you looking for a platform to present and sell your work, and to meet and be inspired by peers? Then this open call is for you!
What we offer:
- A three-week group exhibition at VHDG, where your works will be for sale and displayed along with those of other participants
- Following the exhibition, there is the possibility of selling part of your work in our market display for another seven weeks
- Promotion via our online platforms and socials
- All profits from sales go directly to each maker
- Support and advice when preparing for the presentation and selling of your work
- A festive closing event where all makers will meet each other and the public
