2 | Lavart no.17: Waiting for you

Herman Lamers and Yvo van der Vat present their latest installation, a work of art that can be admired from outside and turns the street into an interactive work of art. This exhibition, specially designed for de Doelen Art, has music as its theme, which fits perfectly with our concert hall.

A special exhibition with works by more than 40 Rotterdam artists. The Kunstambassade brings visual artists from Rotterdam together and creates connection with art lovers, both through physical exhibitions and the virtual studio.

4 | CROON - MENDES - RUSCHE

De Doelen proudly presents an exhibition featuring Anuli Croon, Sandim Mendes, and Christine Rusche. It is no coincidence that these commissions were awarded to female artists; with this, De Doelen aims to bring balance to its art collection, which until now has primarily consisted of works by male artists. This exhibition celebrates diversity and showcases the powerful impact of female perspectives in the art world.
