Thanks

Our 2023 program is kindly supported by the Creative Industry Fund and Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunsten. Most of our hybrid experiments this year are made possible in part by the Innovatielabs programme, which gives an impulse to new resilience in the cultural and creative sector. This program is carried out by the Creative Industries Fund NL and CLICKNL on behalf of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science.
