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!

Grachtenfestival X Amarte: AuMEnsemble

AuMEnsemble
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. AuMEnsemble is one of the selected musical acts.With AuMEnsemble, embark on a musical journey through the spiritual and musical traditions of the Middle East, shaped by contemporary sonic experiments. The program explores repertoire inspired by Sufi and klezmer music, creating a dialogue between the Middle East and the West.The concert features original arrangements by the trio, based on music by composers such as Kinan Azmeh, Fazıl Say, Stephen Goss, and George Gurdjieff, reimagined for a chamber ensemble and electronics. Within the walls of the Stedelijk Museum, hypnotic rhythms and refined timbres transport the listener through a soundscape suspended between tradition and innovation.Alberto Radossi (percussion)Danielle Bolletta (saxophone)Marco Tencati Corino (guitar)

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.
