Welcome ArtsTalk Magazine Holland

Launched in June 2017, we are the sister publication of StageTalk Magazine in the UK and provide previews, reviews and information, in English, for theatres, art exhibitions, concerts, opera etc, concentrating on cities in south west Netherlands (Noord/Zuid Holland and Utrecht regions). Each venue, museum or gallery has its own page with information and a link to its website. The site is updated regularly and information is always coming in so there is always something new to discover or read about.

If you are promoting any events, please let us know and we’ll probably be able to list them.

Please subscribe to ArtsTalk Magazine using the box at the bottom of the page and follow us on social media using the links below so you are always up to date with the arts in Holland.

Some Highlights This Month

Predictably there are lots of top class contemporary dance events in our area. The NDT has a programme of new work created by its dancers – SWITCH 2020 takes place at the Lucent Danstheater in The Hague on 17th and 18th January. Also in The Hague the Korzo Theater has, as always, a rich and varied programme with THE ARSENAL OF RUDE THINGS on 9th and THE LOST ART OF GRIEF on 10th looking particularly interesting. THE EXACT POSITION OF THINGS by Nicole Beutler is on tour until 24th January.
