Amarte Fonds
Calendar

OPEN CALL #1

Amarte and A Tale of A Tub are joining forces this autumn to organise a residency for curators and curating artists based in the Netherlands. The aim is to support curators during the development phase of a project or research, rather than working toward an explicit final result. This will take place in a way that both inhabits and activates the spaces of the former wash and bathhouse where A Tale of A Tub is located. Are you a curator in need of a working period in an inspiring environment? Apply now!

OPEN CALL #2

Noorderzon, Amarte, and pop venue Simplon are offering creators from Northern Netherlands the opportunity to shape three nights during Noorderzon 2026. We are looking for experimentation: concepts at the intersection of music and other art disciplines, that belong after sunset and are anything but obvious. Do you have an idea that fits the after-dark hours? Then this open call is for you!

Effervescent Ouverture

Örs Köszeghy
Effervescent Ouverture is a short, expressive work for string orchestra, inspired by an art-theoretical approach from the time of Béla Bartók, as outlined by Judit Frigyesi in her book Béla Bartók and Turn-of-the-Century Budapest. Additionally, a quote from Lawrence M. Krauss’s A Universe from Nothing serves as a conceptual foundation:"In quantum gravity, universes can, and indeed always will, spontaneously appear from nothing."The piece seeks to capture the complexity, contrasts, and tensions of the world through music, while also emphasizing the wonder and ecstasy of life. The Dutch premiere will be performed by the Dutch Youth String Orchestra in collaboration with the KLIF Quartet.

The Amarte Foundation was founded by a number of individuals and their families who share a deep love for the arts. They wish to support the development of creatives and talent in arts and culture by providing financial means and where possible coaching, knowledge and experience. Artists who are active in the cultural sectors of the Netherlands or the ABC and SSS islands (the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands) can apply to Amarte for the support of projects in the field of theatre, film, music, visual arts and literature, as well as interdisciplinary projects.
