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.

NOT ONLY, BUT ALSO . . . some dates for your diary

Here’s a run down of some other events coming up in the next few weeks in Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and places nearby and in between. . .

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.

JACOB JOHN SHALE on . . . the arts

Each month Amsterdam-based writer Jacob John Shale reports on aspects of the arts which originate in, or are connected to, The Netherlands. This month, an essay on AMSTERDAM STORIES by Nescio, the pen name of J.H.F. Groenloh, the highly successful director of the Holland-Bombay Trading Company and a father of four—someone who knew more than enough about respectable maturity.

SOFONISBA ANGUISSOLA – Portraitist of the Renaissance at Rijksmuseum Twenthe

For a noble woman like Sofonisba Anguissola it was extremely difficult to become a professional painter for a number of reasons. First of all, a lady of her standing was not allowed to sell her work. The portraits she made were paid for by returning favours to her family. Secondly, even though learning how to paint befitted a noble lady, there was no way she was allowed to study the human anatomy.

Although we concentrate on Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam and everything else in between and nearby there are lots of other interesting events happening elsewhere
