THE HAGUE ART CIRCLE ASSOCIATION

Founded: May 1, 1891

The Hague Art Circle is an association in The Hague for and by artists and art lovers. Members include visual artists, architects, writers, performers, photographers, musicians and designers.

THE HAGUE ART CIRCLE

Association of artists and art lovers

The Haagse Kunstkring is an association of artists and art lovers that connects three centuries in its history. For 130 years, the Circle has been organizing a multitude of activities: exhibitions, concerts, lectures, book presentations, performances, workshops, excursions, members' drinks, the monthly sit-in meal...

The Haagse Kunstkring on the Denneweg offers professional artists a meeting place, stage or exhibition space and a stimulating environment. They meet colleagues from the same or other art disciplines, exchange ideas with them and inspire each other. For example, the Kunstkring has traditionally been a breeding ground and platform for innovation and experimentation, a production house that stimulates, organizes and offers space. In addition, the Haagse Kunstkring offers a platform for conversations with art-loving members and other interested parties.

Cross-pollination and crossover

The Haagse Kunstkring has four departments: Visual Arts; Design and Architecture; Arts, Theater and Film; Music.

The work of artists who want to become a member is tested for quality and professionalism. Art forms are free and regularly cross the boundaries of their 'own' discipline. The Hague Art Circle has often played a pioneering role in this: it consciously promotes the cross-pollination of different art forms. A cross-over event is organized with some regularity.

My first official meeting

at the association: De Kunstkring

on March 24, 2023

Through Enny Kleinkamp, a former fellow student of the AKI in ENSCHEDE, I joined the association of the Haagse Kunstkring. She had already become a member herself and I had once attended her presentation at Denneweg in The Hague

Considering that I wanted to go to folk dances in Enschede. (I loved the oriental music to which I had been allowed to dance as a small child) I first met Enny's husband at the time. Ben's husband is called Ben and was engaged in scientific laser research at the time. Ben was the other man on the folk dance group who had been drawn to folk dances. I also sometimes made music together with Ben and we had a special exchange between Friesland and Limburg

"Hoogmoed" (2007). acrylic on linen, 50 x 50 cm/ Golden yellow gleaming vanity; haughtily assume the adoration of the other. "Pride comes before a fall," which is to say that too much self-importance usually ends badly for you. Pride is seen as the source of all sin, the rest flows from it.

Drawing I wanted to make on the wall of the Haagse Kunstkring of my so-called BIGO DRAGON

"Bigo Live" is a new worldwide online craze from SINGAPORE where more than 30,000,000 people are currently playing and where you have to throw BEANS and DIAMONDS and play PKs if you are a so-called BROADCASTER. Also, through Bigo Live, people can connect with each other through so-called Bigo families that they can be a part of, and this often happens with other people who have opened a so-called agency. Talents (unfortunately mainly appearances) are shared with others via Bigo-Live, often to collect as many beans and diamonds as possible via the so-called artificial intelligence of the BIGO organization. With sufficiently attractive and paying viewers, people can actually earn money with this. The whole thing is considered a so-called pyramid scheme.
