- Location: Extrapool, Nijmegen
- Every year, Extrapool visits the graduation exhibitions of the Dutch art academies. What keeps these young artists busy? How do they shape their work at the end of their academic years? In November, we invite a selection of promising freshly graduated artists for a two-week working period at Extrapool. Together, they will organize an exhibition throughout our building, from kitchen to bathroom, from basement to roof, with old and new work and a smashing opening night.

Landscape Drawing and Writing Workshop

- In collaboration with: Kunstgarage Franx
- Location: Zoetermeer, Zoetermeer
- Simultaneously with the exhibition in the Franx art garage, where I exhibited my graduation drawings from Zoetermeer, I organized a drawing and writing workshop. Participants had to fill in an unclear quasi-scientific form with questions about the environment and landscape. Reactions were overwhelmingly positive and the workshop generated many beautiful stories about Zoetermeer.

30-09-2022 t/m 02-10-2022
- In collaboration with: Art in Altena
- Location: Woudrichem, Woudrichem
- The KunstinAltena foundation has invited and challenged young, novice artists, studying or graduating in 2022 from St Joost School of Art and Design in Breda and 's-Hertogenbosch, to exhibit their work in an empty former factory hall of Villaforte, located between the Hoge Maasdijk and the Dammed Maas. The emptiness and bareness of this hall had to be a challenge for the young student exhibitors to turn it into a grand and special exhibition experience.
