Art in Amsterdam

This May a lot of art and art related happenings will take place in the city. Most of them are now clustered under the tag Art in Amsterdam.

Dutch design participants of the Salone del mobile in Milan show their work via the DesignSalon/ at various places, World Press Photo is to bee seen at the Oude Kerk, Mediamatic hosts Pièce de Résistance, the Virtual Museum at the Zuidas shows young artists with exhibit Vonk, there is the Beehive Open Atelier route, Creative Amsterdam organizes a special Open Studio Night and the contestors for the Prix de Rome are shown at Smart project space. This means a lot to see, alas a lot to skip and a whole lot to write about for us.

Makin’ miles and makin’ blogs!
