Studios

Nieuwe Vide Artspace & Studios is an art institute focusing on experimental art and collective growth. The 26 studios of Nieuwe Vide Artspace and Studios provide space to more than 30 local professional artists and creatives. Alongside our studios, Nieuwe Vide has an exhibition space, a workshop space and is currently in the process of creating an in-house Artivist Library, in collaboration with collectives and artists.

As an artistic hub and community aimed at supporting artistic practices, we activly participate in reimagining, encouraging and collectively practicing different kinds of community knowledge sharing and sustainability. Our community guideline maintains that at least 3/4ths of the studio members are professional-working artists. Art and solidarity are foundational elements upon which we build our community at Nieuwe Vide.

On some days, there is the quiet of work happening behind closed doors. On Wednesdays you are guaranteed to hear the call of ‘soup soup soup!’ ringing through the building inviting everyone for lunch or the laughter of the Teken or Leave It members during an open draw evening. On other days, you will smell the wood shavings from the violin maker or see the young feminist collective (Jong Fem) dreaming up ways to change the world through art.

Our studio members range from visual artists, sculptures, illustrators, designers, and photographers, to writers and musical craftspeople making and repairing stringed instruments. Everyone who takes an active role in Nieuwe Vide becomes part of our community network, our ecology of care. As Octavia Butler wrote, “All that you touch, you change.” Who you are and how you are in this network sets the tone of the daily life of our artistic community.
