Art house Waterland

Kunsthuis Waterland is an association founded in 1976 with the aim of bringing contemporary art closer to the residents of Purmerend and the Waterland region.

Since 2018, the Art House has been located on Peperstraat, where it welcomes visitors in a spacious and uncluttered environment. At the back of the building is a large, bright exhibition space, where regular exhibitions are held.

The Art House offers a variety of programmes and services to fulfil its mission. For instance, they have an extensive art lending function, where you can choose from hundreds of artworks by more than 300 artists from all over the Netherlands. This allows you to borrow artworks for a certain period of time and enjoy art at home without having to buy it.

As well as the art lending service, the Kunsthuis organises six to eight exhibitions each year. These offer a diverse range of contemporary art and enable artists to present their work to a wider audience.

The Kunsthuis also offers a range of educational activities, such as workshops, courses and lectures, to increase knowledge of and appreciation for art.…
