Stroom Invest Week 2018

Locatie: Stroom Den Haag, Hogewal 1-9, Den Haag
Datum: 18 - 22 juni 2018 

De PRO Stroom Invest regeling ondersteunt jonge kunstenaars in hun ontwikkeling en is bedoeld om academieverlaters aan de stad te binden. Om de jonge kunstenaars een extra impuls te geven wordt jaarlijks het zogenaamde Stroom Invest programma georganiseerd.

Nederlandse en buitenlandse curatoren bezoeken ateliers van Haagse kunstenaars. Ook leden van de adviescommissie PRO leggen in dit kader atelierbezoeken af. Stroom zet deze contacten later breder in ten behoeve van Haagse kunstenaars door de zichtbaarheid d.m.v. tentoonstellingen, presentaties en uitwisselingen te vergroten.
