Art Motel returns to celebrate 25 years of Motel Mozaïque! From April 18-20, MOMO Festival invites you to a unique sleepover experience with fellow festival-goers at an extraordinary location: concert venue de Doelen. Immerse yourself in art and an inspiring program.
In a world of constant stimulation and disconnection, Art Motel explores the power of sleep as a healing ritual. In collaboration with CBK, we present a diverse art program that transforms your sleeping environment into an artistic experience. Installations and performances create spaces for rest, introspection, and connection. The program includes guided meditations, a breathing concert, and a special vegan breakfast by Sofie Cuit, gently awakening your senses to start your day.
Please note: Day tickets and passe-partouts for MOMO Festival are not valid for Art Motel. An Art Motel ticket does not include access to MOMO Festival.

Anna De Maesschalck brings her unique blend of yoga, soundhealing and mindfulness practices. With her background in music from the conservatory, Anna creates a space of inner stillness through mantra singing and sound, focusing on surrender, deep breath connection and heart-centered awareness.
Artist Teun Vonk presents his installation “The Physical Mind,” a unique bodily experience that demonstrates the profound connection between physical sensation and mental states. Participants are gently lifted and squeezed between soft inflatable objects, creating a paradoxical experience that reduces anxiety and promotes calm alertness.
Performance artist Olyve Dewi offers a ritualistic dance practice that positions the body as a transcendental instrument. Her work, rooted in her multi-cultural background, creates a dialogue with ancestry and invites audiences into a shared contemplation of creation.
To complete your healing journey, wake up to a special vegan breakfast prepared by Sofie Cuit, whose culinary approach draws inspiration from seasonal ingredients and mindful cooking practices developed through her work with Amsterdam-based catering and as junior sous chef at Kaapse Maria.
