Welcome to 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.

LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL BECOMES BRIGHTER AS MORE RESTRICTIONS LIFTED

Finally, after more than three months of lockdown, performance spaces, galleries and museums open their doors to the public – with very tight restrictions and controls.

For museums, especially the big ones in Amsterdam like the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh, it will mean one is able to look at the pictures in a calm and leisurely fashion without staring at the backs of heads and back-packs of hordes of mindless tourists who are not really interested in art at all, taking up the space, ticking off places on their Amsterdam must-see list.

SON OF ESCOBAR – by Roberto Sendoya Escobar

Phillip Witcomb grew up as the son of a British M16 agent. Later he would learn that he is in fact the first born son of notorious drug lord, Don Pablo Escobar. One of the ten richest men in the world, Escobar controlled 80% of the global trade in cocaine before being shot dead in 1993. His first born, Roberto Sendoya Escobar, spoke to us from his home in Majorca about his recently published book, Son of Escobar.
