β–· About

de Appel makes time and space for artists and allies to pose vital questions.

Founded in 1975 in Amsterdam, this evolving arts centre has a unique threefold structure combining a living Archive; a hands-on Curatorial Programme; and Education Initiatives that arise from deep community engagement. In the Diamantbuurt in Amsterdam, de Appel develops a programme that propagates and welcomes diversity. De Appel looks outside, and develops art projects together with local residents, with schools and institutions in the same district. Mutual exchange and learning from each other are vital values.

Our varied public programming serves and learns with people of different backgrounds and perspectives in an atmosphere of hospitality, cooperation and experiment. Together we give shape to a dynamic sense of art and culture in our worldly city.
