Wonderful news! The Dutch Council for Culture has issued a positive recommendation in favour of Framer Framed to the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science regarding the allocation of the Basic Cultural Infrastructure (BIS).
Framer Framed is an institution of artistic and social significance, which submitted an application of a high standard – according to the council in its advisory report for the Basic Cultural Infrastructure (BIS) 2025-2028. Highly praised is the organisation’s focus on diversity and inclusion, in relation to the traditional, predominantly Western-oriented international arts discourse. In terms of social significance and accessibility, Framer Framed has distinguished itself by fulfilling a “pioneering role in socially driven artistic research.”
The council further states: “With its more socially-oriented artistic research, it has a clear and accessible positionality that is of great value to the sector’s collective profile. Framer Framed makes room for other voices and perspectives, including the autodidact and the collective. The council deems that its plan raises challenging questions about the position and meaning of the artist and art.”
Framer Framed remains tirelessly committed to contemporary art, visual culture and critical theory and practice, with exhibitions and cultural and educational programmes at its main location in Amsterdam-Oost and at its project space Werkplaats Molenwijk in Amsterdam-Noord.
We would like to thank all of our visitors and our Framer Framed Friends for their warm support and dedication. We are endlessly grateful to our wonderful team, volunteers, community and all stakeholders who are instrumental in making our mission possible.
We would also like to congratulate all other institutions that received great news today, and share our sympathies with organisations that received disappointing news.
