Audiotour Amsterdam South - Call(s) for Graduates

With the closure of the art academies, the national graduation will be different: the graduation exhibitions will be moved to the fall, or presented more intimately. Nest and Melkweg Expo have therefore invited the students of 2020 (BA/MA fine art) of all art academies in the Netherlands to send in a photo of their graduation work for an exhibition in the public space of The Hague and Amsterdam.

On 1 June 2020 the call for graduation students closed and Nest and Melkweg Expo were overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and quality of the applications. From the almost 300 entries a committee of art professionals has made a selection that gives a good overview of the graduation year 2020. As of June 30th, at over 400 poster advertising spots in The Hague and Amsterdam the graduation works of the following artists will be on display for at least two weeks:
