About us
UtrechtDownUnder is a nomadic art platform that pops up once every two years at a special location in the city. UtrechtDownUnder aims to bring art to the places where people first encounter visual arts. Contemporary visual art is presented in a unique location for a broad audience. After all, the threshold of a museum or gallery can be high for those who have not grown up with visual arts.
Heilige Huisjes is organized by Kunstliefde and FAAM.
Kunstliefde
Kunstliefde, the space for visual arts on the Nobelstraat, offers a platform for art in Utrecht with a changing exhibition program. The focus is on contemporary art, Utrecht-based artists and young makers. Kunstliefde was founded in 1807 with the aim of ‘practicing and encouraging the visual arts and spreading the idea of art’. Today, this translates into organizing exhibitions, discovering and actively supporting new talent, and initiating and organizing projects on location that are meaningful to artists and art lovers. Kunstliefde is responsible for external projects such as the Atelierroute Utrecht and UtrechtDownUnder.
FAAM
FAAM is a Utrecht-based organization that connects art and science. FAAM pairs artists and scientists together, facilitating transdisciplinary collaborations. The outcome of the collaboration can sometimes be predetermined, but it is often open-ended and always surprising, ranging from interventions in public spaces to interactive exhibitions.
