OPEN CALL

Amarte and A Tale of A Tub join forces to host a residency for Netherlands-based curators and curating artists. With this open call, A Tale of A Tub, with the support of Amarte, is launching a residency programme focused on experimentation and addressing the residential context the institution is situated in. The selected curator will receive support during the development phase of a project or research initiative, without there being any specific end result to work towards. The idea is to make active use of the spaces in the former washhouse and bathhouse in which the art institution is based. Are you a curator in need of a working period in an inspiring environment? Apply now!

They received a grant

Gerief

Celine Vervaet
Celine Vervaet received a grant for the development of a new book. Gerief is a literary novel about grief that changes shape but never truly passes. Hella’s search for a life after her brother’s suicide takes the reader into a world where sorrow, hope, longing, and love are inseparably intertwined.Celine is a Flemish writer who lost her heart in Rotterdam and now lives and works in Schiedam. She writes about grief as something everyday, persistent, and deeply human. Her characters often wander through cities and nostalgia, drawn to and repelled by one another in a world that hurts, yet still holds so much beauty, for those willing to see it.

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.
