Een waar feest van creativiteit, maar met één thema: een werk van elke kunstenaar zal hulde brengen aan onze prachtige stad Amsterdam, terwijl we het 750-jarig jubileum vieren.

Van Tim Marsh en zijn gigantische muurschilderingen tot Sam Vonk en zijn uiterst gedetailleerde miniatuur van Amsterdam, deze tentoonstelling zal je onderdompelen in de levendige kunstcultuur van Amsterdam!

Marvel at an awe-inspiring exhibition of tattoo art, featuring a diverse range of styles, techniques and designs. From traditional to avant-garde, this exhibition showcases the best and boldest in the tattoo world with artworks in a variety of media, from photography and canvas to framed flash sheets celebrating iconic tattoos, or the design process behind them.

Urban Wildlife brings together a group of artists working across media to explore the visual connection between animals and urban city life. Often unexpected and sometimes surreal, each creative brings their own approach and style to the subject matter – from murals to classic gallery work – with each work open to the viewer’s interpretation. We are proud to present this broadly oriented yet accessible collection to shine a colorful, cheerful light on the darkest months of the year, in the heart of Amsterdam’s city center.

It’s not about being sexy, it’s about knowing how to combine the right colors.
It’s not about intelligence, it’s about being able to create unique works of art.

Let go of your prejudices and give free rein to creativity.

For this exhibition we asked 10 artists who are known for their illegal graffiti on the streets, their giant murals and their breathtaking artwork. And they are all women! Yet this is not about feminism, activism or equality. Or that this group of women work in the so-called ‘rough man’s world’. It is purely about creativity.

11th August – 17th November 2023

Street Love I A mix-medium show featuring a group of artists who all have a particular, but often varied link to art made on the streets. Artists who graduated from art academy that started exploring their creative path while hitting the streets with spray cans. Creative photographers with a passion for raw textures and capturing the most iconic street sceneries. Illustrators and designers who love to get away from their sketchbook and computers and create stunning work on the streets. And well-established artists that showcase their art in galleries all over the globe, but still embrace their first love, the streets. It’s their personal translation from their own creative path that made them the artists that they are today. Street Love brings a collection of artworks from seven artists showcasing their current level of skills. Sometimes with a clear link to the streets and sometimes requiring the imagination of the viewer to take over.

Artist line-up: Marije Maria, FELEON, Ravian Derriere, Potato and Onion, Luis Sanchez, Ali C. Ambriz, Bondage Bunny.

In official partnership with Pride Amsterdam, the internationally acclaimed photography exhibition, “Kings & Queens”, by Micha Schneijderberg (Snorella WC) and photographer Léon Hendrickx, takes over the art’otel Gallery. The captivating & poignant yet often humorous exhibition, features drag queens from all over the world, bringing the viewer closer to their identity beyond the exhibitionist extravaganza. Each image features two personalities of the same individual laid bare. The man, woman, or else, is intimately embracing their alter ego, the drag king or queen – or is it vice versa?

The exhibition is free to visit daily 11AM – 11PM 24 July 2023 – 6 August 2023. @artotel #myartotel @amsterdamstreetart
