Kick off the new cultural season with the Arty Party in Melkweg Expo! During this multidisciplinary festival, every corner of the Melkweg will be dedicated to art in all its forms. Explore each venue hall, the hallways, every nook and cranny and find yourself fully immersed in the future of the Dutch art world.

For the sixth edition of this full-evening graduation festival, the Melkweg Expo team and a diverse and dedicated team of scouts set out to spot fresh graduate talent from music and art academies from across the country. A small selection will be on show during this evening event. Visitors are invited to discover the art of the future in a non-traditional and inspiring setting. This way, we bring together young arts professionals, newly graduated artists and self-taught artists, visitors and music lovers. We offer them a captivating combination of art presentations, performances, speed dates with talent scouts, engaging talks, and music.

We will draw the night to a close with a bustling party in the OZ, featuring various live performances and DJs. In short, an evening full of eye-opening and horizon-broadening art—an adventure for both artists and audiences.

For Arty Party, we use a 'Pay what you can' system: this allows you to determine the ticket price that fits your current financial situation. Can you afford to pay a higher ticket price? Then you make it possible for others to pay less.

This program has been made possible by the Mondriaan Fund.
