We’re here for amateur artists
As a creative amateur artist, you don’t have to do everything on your own. We’re here to help. With an exhibition or a performance during our Bruisweekend. With funding, as we run three funding schemes for amateur arts. And with advice for both associations and individual artists. Our amateur arts coordinators are ready to support you.
3 funding schemes
In need of extra financial support? On behalf of the Municipality of Eindhoven, we manage three funding schemes for amateur artists. You can apply for funding for:
– Basic amateur arts grant
– Amateur arts projects
– New initiatives
Take the first step here
Step into the spotlight
Performing for a live audience is a magical experience – whether you’re a band, choir, theatre group, soloist or dance ensemble. During Bruisweekend, you’re welcome to showcase your art. We provide the stages for all forms of talent. Bruisweekend takes place four times a year, and registration is open via the link below. Visitors can attend Bruisweekend for free. Sign up and share your art with Eindhoven!
Your art, our walls
Your work deserves to be seen! And our venue is the perfect place – with plenty of exhibition space. We offer (amateur) artists the opportunity to exhibit their work. Each year, we put together a diverse exhibition programme, alternating between individual artists, associations, collaborations with other organisations or with students. Pitch your idea – and soon you’ll be raising a glass at the opening of your very own exhibition.
What’s on our agenda
CKE is here for amateur artists – whether working solo or as part of a group. For curious Eindhoven residents seeking new forms of creative expression. And for anyone who simply wants to spend their evening in a more imaginative way.
From small-scale presentations or performances, to workshops, poetry nights, music or spoken word – our programme is diverse and accessible. We believe culture is something you create together. That’s why we’re always open to new ideas and collaborations.
Hire a space
Planning a major concert? Organising a dance or theatre production? Need a space to rehearse with your band? We’ve got the rooms – and the extra facilities you might need (from grand pianos to microphones).
