I co-founded Atelier AM, an artist residency that was born out of the minds of directors Vere van Hal and Tomas Heller. Moving through the city of Almere (NL), AM offers paid residency programmes to recently graduated artists and encourages and supports these artists in the early, critical stages of their careers, shortly after graduating. We do so by offering space, time, a network and (practical) support, to experiment and professionalise.
Residents collaborate on AM’s public programmes through exchanges amongst each other, with local residents and with a wide variety of (cultural) partners. During these programmes the artists also offer an insight in their creative processes and develop new work for the eyes of the public.
The website design by graphic designer Maud Vervenne is directly influenced by the Almere winds.
