OPEN CALL #1

Amarte and A Tale of A Tub are joining forces this autumn to organise a residency for curators and curating artists based in the Netherlands. The aim is to support curators during the development phase of a project or research, rather than working toward an explicit final result. This will take place in a way that both inhabits and activates the spaces of the former wash and bathhouse where A Tale of A Tub is located. Are you a curator in need of a working period in an inspiring environment? Apply now!

OPEN CALL #2

Noorderzon, Amarte, and pop venue Simplon are offering creators from Northern Netherlands the opportunity to shape three nights during Noorderzon 2026. We are looking for experimentation: concepts at the intersection of music and other art disciplines, that belong after sunset and are anything but obvious. Do you have an idea that fits the after-dark hours? Then this open call is for you!

Swan
On June 24, 2026, Swan will present her second EP, Safety Net, at Bitterzoet in Amsterdam. This live show marks the premiere of the EP, which will be released on May 22, 2026, via Unexpected Records and was created in collaboration with American producer Anwar Sawyer.Swan is known for her poetic lyrics, distinctive harmonies, and rhythmic productions. During the performance, she combines music, light, and performance into an immersive experience. The central theme explores the relationship between body and mind, with intuition serving as a guiding principle. Light plays a key role as a visual translation of the music, bringing the songs to life both audibly and visually.Swan is an Amsterdam-based singer, songwriter, and producer. Her debut album, Underneath My Façade, was released in 2025. For practical information about the performance, such as start time and admission, please refer to the Bitterzoet website or ticketing channels.

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.
