Partnerships

Over the past three years, Amsterdam Open Air has evolved from a music festival into an experience-based event, where cultural interactions such as theater performances, lectures, art, and branded activations complement the music. The festival’s mission is to celebrate Amsterdam’s vibrant and diverse communities by creating a ‘playground’ where connection and creativity thrive.

For the 2024 edition, I was invited, alongside Babette, to provide strategic advice on integrating large art-installations into the festival. We analyzed leading Amsterdam-based art institutions and the festival’s target audience to develop an innovative approach. This resulted in a partnership with NXT Museum, whom curated an interactive digital art show featuring artists from their archive paired with DJs and performers on the main stage. Also showcased on the festival terrain, was an immersive artwork by Roelof Knol, inviting festival visitors to actively engage and interact with the art-installation.
