Art with courage in the city center
Since the summer of 2021, Kunsthal 45 and the Kunstuitleen have been joining forces. Together, they're literally bringing art "down to the basement" in the heart of the city. An inspiring project brought to life through crowdfunding. Until then, the Kunsthal will be temporarily housed in the former Dekamarkt building. The first exhibition at the new location is scheduled for 2026 – mark your calendars now.
