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.

How long the crisis will last nobody knows and therefore it is impossible to make plans. That means that even after the immediate lockdown is over, nothing will be in place for months to come.

BOOKS & LITERARY EVENTS

SUKETU MEHTA at De Balie in Amsterdam

According to renowned writer Suketu Mehta the West is being destroyed not by immigrants but by the fear of them. That is why we need a new story, a new narrative around migration. Far from Western hypocrisy and close to Western colonial history.
