Welcome to ArtsTalk Magazine Holland

Launched in June 2017, we provide previews, reviews and information, in English, for theatres, art exhibitions, concerts, opera etc, concentrating on cities in south west Netherlands. We cover Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and everything in between and nearby – an area known as Randstad. Each venue, museum or gallery has its own page with information and a link to its website. The site is updated on a daily basis.

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

You can follow us on social media

There is so much going on in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and nearby there are hardly enough days in the week to see or do everything. Luckily a lot of the exhibitions, events and tours run for quite a long time so if you have missed anything, don’t worry, it may still be running.

EXTRACURRICULAR

MARIANNE VON WEREFKIN Pioneer of Expressionism at De Fundatie in Zwolle

The exhibition of Marianne von Werefkin at De Fundatie in Zwolle starts with an intimate painting of Vera Repin knitting a child’s sock. It confirms that Ilja Repin was right in comparing her treatment of chiaroscuro to that of Rembrandt! However, the self-portrait she makes a decade later shows that she is moving away from this academic style of painting more towards impressionism.

One bus, three months and thirty-two cities.

Touring is often stereotyped as a glamorous vacation filled with extravagant parties, picturesque cities, and artists thirsting for life. The reality is slightly different. Scapino Ballet Rotterdam dancer ASHTON BENN describes a day in her life on tour with Scapino’s current show, Cathedral.
