All you can Art 4

, Studio with IBB

Het Gemaal op Zuid (Rotterdam-South Pumping Station), Groene Hilledijk and the
Kunsthal

In three locations, Het Gemaal op Zuid (Rotterdam-South Pumping Station), 272-274 Groene Hilledijk and on a smaller scale at the Kunsthal, AYCA will actively work on finding new perspectives and forging connections between people, art and culture. The team of IBB artists, consisting of Liesbeth Labeur, Elke Uitentuis, Rieneke de Vries, Elvis Chen, Roxette Capriles and Johanna Franco Zapata, will also be working with numerous neighbourhood initiatives, local artists and new partners – including the community project Wijkatelier op Zuid and the Willem de Kooning Academy – and now familiar partners like Stichting Laurens (geriatric care), the Zuiderpark College (VMBO school) and Antes (addiction care). The locations act as Maker Spaces, places where artists, art academy alumni, students of VMBO schools, Summer School students, clients of Stichting Laurens, Antes, the refugee collective ‘We are here’ and others can come together to make art, inspire and have discussions with each other, and present their work. During this process, there will be a special focus on people who are never, or hardly ever confronted with art in their daily lives. The Summer School will again be an important part of AYCA. In order to capture the different stories, encounters and results, AYCA will also renew its collaboration with OPEN Rotterdam.

SUMMERSCHOOL - JULY 23 TILL AUGUST 25

Location: Het Gemaal op Zuid, 141 Pretorialaan

During the All you can Art Summer School, more than thirty talented people from different age groups, backgrounds and educational levels will work under the guidance of a variety of inspiring artists for five weeks. By following workshops, clinics and working with the artists according to the master and apprentice principle, the participants will be challenged to further discover their creativity and talents while having a fantastic summer with each other. Among other things, the participants will receive instruction in different techniques, are encouraged to explore certain subjects in greater depth, and work with Kunsthal visitors and partners on various projects. In addition, they will also have time to create their own work and receive feedback.
