May 22 to June 25 during Patronaat opening hours
With Animating the Future, Nieuwe Vide and Patronaat present an inspiring animation exhibition by a new, emerging generation of young makers. These talented creatives bring fresh energy and innovative work to the forefront, demonstrating that the future of animation is in good hands.
Meet Danko, Feline, Tess, Ella, Levi, Cato, and Rheia—a group of young creators who bring stories to life with their colorful and surprising animations. Danko (15) is a young talent who creates 2D animations in the most beautiful colors. Feline van Strien, (18) and will become a student at ArtEZ next year. Tess (19) aka TWartz masters both 2D and stop-motion animation, while Cato (19) brings illustrations to life on paper. Levi (18) creates unique vibes with his animations, and Rheia and Ella (18) turn stop-motion animation into a true art form. The work of this group is a celebration of creativity and diversity.
This exhibition is part of the collaboration between Nieuwe Vide and Patronaat, where young and/or queer creators are given space to showcase their work around themes such as night, experimentation, and diversity. The exhibition can be seen from May 22 to June 25 during Patronaat’s opening hours, club nights, and concerts.

Started in November 2025, Nieuwe Vide and Patronaat started a collaboration. Together, they offer space to (young) artists from Haarlem and the surrounding area to showcase their work in Patronaat’s EXPO.
As part of this program, Nieuwe Vide will create four exhibitions at Patronaat during the 2025/2026 season. The exhibitions will feature young and/or queer artists working on themes of the night, experimentation, and diversity.
The works, often at the intersection of image and sound, have a direct connection to the night and can be seen during Patronaat’s opening hours, including club nights and concerts. This creates a unique cross-pollination between music, art, and the public.
Artists who wish to exhibit or pitch their work can contact us via info@nieuwevide.com. We especially encourage artists who work on themes of the night, and who may also wish to apply for a grant through Nachtmakers, to apply.
