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!

Grachtenfestival X Amarte: Keroncong Anemoia

Keroncong Anemoia
This year, Amarte collaborates once again with the Grachtenfestival to provide a platform for young musicians to showcase their talent. With the Grachtenfestival X Amarte: Roots outside of Europe open call, we aim to present a wide range of musical styles from around the world. Keroncong Anemoia is one of the selected musical acts.In this special recital, soprano Madeline Saputra and pianist/violist Apollon Kalamenios poetically merge Indonesian keroncong with Western art songs. Inspired by the letters of Kartini, they create a moving musical journey filled with memory, struggle, and hope.Classical composers such as Berg, Copland, and Saariaho alternate with Indonesian masters like Poniman, Marzuki, and Martohartono. A layered and innovative recital that connects cultures and eras.Madeline Saputra (soprano)Apollon Kalamenios (piano)

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.
