Exhibition The New Vincent

On Sunday, December 18, at 2 p.m., the opening of the exhibition De Nieuwe Vincent 2022 will take place at Vincent van GoghHuis in Zundert. In this exhibition, 15 young people will show what they have learned and created over the past year in the talent program De Nieuwe Vincent 2022. During the opening, De Nieuwe Vincent Zundert will also be announced.

The New Vincent Zundert is a talent development program for young people between the ages of 10 and 14 who love nothing more than drawing. In March and April 2022, 22 entries were received. From these, 15 drawing talents were selected who from May followed an intensive program of drawing lessons, master classes and excursions. The program concluded with an exhibition and the announcement of The New Vincent Zundert 2022. The talent program is made possible with funding from the province of North Brabant and the municipality of Zundert and is a collaboration between AiR van Gogh, the Vincent van GoghHuis and Vincent tekenlokaal. The program also takes place in Tilburg and will also start in the Van Gogh locations of Nuenen and Etten-Leur in the coming years.

Varied program
Major inspiration for this talent program is Vincent van Gogh, who was born in Zundert. Today's young artists followed a varied program with lessons at Vincent van GoghHuis and from guest teachers/artists from the AiR van Gogh program, in which they learned to think creatively and were introduced to new techniques. There were also excursions combined with drawing lessons at the Stedelijk Museum Breda and De Pont Tilburg, among others.
