GRID in Akerk

Our mobile museum De Druktemaker is packed with materials to provide an unforgettable evening. Make your own ex-libris during the linocut workshop or put our graphic experts to work with an assignment. They will create a beautiful and personal work of art for you during the Werkmantechniek demonstration. 

Best Dutch Book designs celebrate the best that the graphic arts industry produces: 33 books made with heart and soul. Beautiful books of the highest quality in design, lithography and printing and binding. This year, GRID GrafischMuseum presents both the jury selection and the student selection in the Akerk. At this beautiful location, the most beautiful books of 2023 will be on display for three weeks and during Museum Night. 

The familiar saying holds true here too. Take a page, pick up a marker and tell your own story. Cross out what you don't want and your own poem will appear. Take it home, or stick it on the black wall! 

Trypan Blue proudly presents "Nature vs. Nurture", a multidisciplinary exhibition exploring one of the most enduring questions in human development: to what extent are we shaped by our genetic inheritance, and to what extent by our environment and experiences? This exhibition brings together artists from various disciplines – including visual arts, spatial design, sound, and performance – and invites the audience to reflect on the delicate balance between nature and nurture in the formation of identity, personal growth, and creative expression.

The VERA Art Division's concert posters are world-famous. The silkscreen-printed posters are collector's items and they are exhibited all over the world. The posters are made on the silkscreen-printing installation in the attic of VERA's premises. But, especially for museum night, the Vera Art Division comes to the Akerk for an impressive demonstration. 

Poet Kasper Peters sits behind an old typewriter and writes down what he sees. What would happen if you joined him? Within 5 minutes he will give you his first impression in poetry! You will go home with a poem that is as unique as it is personal! (And Kasper only writes nice things.) 

The Noordstaat production collective Tijdlijn brings together ZOZY, Hassenpflug, and KATLEGO. Each artist contributes their unique sound, voice, and story to a collaborative, interdisciplinary work where music forms the foundation—but where there’s also space for text, monologue, performance, and other expressive forms. Together, they search for new ways to share their identity and vision—personal, layered, and unapologetically individual.

What will it become? It will take form as the journey unfolds.
