Amarte Fonds

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!

GOOD STUFF

Gustav Marcus Lauesen
GOOD STUFF is a solo performance by Gustav Marcus Lauesen. Rooted in physical comedy and theatre, the performance is an exploration of human connection, creativity, and the shared experience of joy. Gustav draws on his background in comedy and physical performance to craft a piece that navigates friendship, despair, and the exhilaration of creation. Through a series of absurdist scenes, the work examines the essence of being human and the meaning of collaboration.Described as "children’s theatre for grown-ups", GOOD STUFF celebrates the act of sharing what we love with those we cherish. It is a vibrant, emotionally resonant performance that embraces the full spectrum of human experience, all delivered with the playful energy of absurd physical comedy.

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.
