Support artistic creation
Become a Friend
Each year, donations from Friends help to reinforce the mission of Kunstenfestivaldesarts by supporting a new creation. Joining this vital community is also an opportunity to get a glimpse behind the scenes, meet artists and make surprising artistic discoveries. Become a Friend and support artistic creation in all its forms!
Friends: € 50 and more
- You support an artistic creation.
- You are invited to two events: the Friends Night in spring and meeting with the supported artist during the festival.
- Mention of your name in the brochure, on the website and in the Festival Centre (unless you indicate not to want this).
Best Friends: € 250 and more

Good to know
