Amarte Fonds

OPEN CALL

Amarte and A Tale of A Tub join forces to host a residency for Netherlands-based curators and curating artists. With this open call, A Tale of A Tub, with the support of Amarte, is launching a residency programme focused on experimentation and addressing the residential context the institution is situated in. The selected curator will receive support during the development phase of a project or research initiative, without there being any specific end result to work towards. The idea is to make active use of the spaces in the former washhouse and bathhouse in which the art institution is based. Are you a curator in need of a working period in an inspiring environment? Apply now!

Sophie du Ry

Sophie du Ry
Sophie du Ry was selected for the upcoming Roode Bioscoop X Amarte sessions. Sophie du Ry is an artist who explores, challenges, and redefines the relationship between the female voice and contemporary notions of femininity.Initially a backing singer in The Orchestra (For Now), she collaborated with producer Daniel Scott-Warren, forming a creative partnership. Together, they experiment with electronic pop and ambient music, drawing from alt-pop, experimental songwriting, and a range of other influences. Their live performances incorporate flute, drums, guitar, and clarinet, resulting in a dynamic and evolving sound—from the high-energy, genre-defying chaos of hyperpop to the intimate, minimalist atmosphere of ambient ballads. Inspired by artists such as Eartheater, Caroline Polachek, Clarissa Connelly, Marina Herlop, and Smerz, Sophie and Daniel fearlessly push the boundaries of their craft, continually expanding the possibilities of their artistry.

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.
