Earlier, we announced that We Are Public would be actively scouting new talent during ArtEZ finals. The first programmes and graduating students are now featured online, with more to follow in the coming weeks. We Are Public’s curators will continue sharing stories, interviews and recommendations.
From performances and concerts to exhibitions, installations and fashion shows: We Are Public offers visitors a glimpse into the work of graduating makers from ArtEZ. The ArtEZ finals programme on the platform is continuously updated, making it easy for audiences to discover new events and presentations.
For many graduates, ArtEZ finals is the first moment their work becomes visible beyond the academy. Through We Are Public, they reach not only art lovers, but also programmers, curators and professionals from the cultural field. It offers an opportunity to build a new audience, make connections and present their work on a larger scale.
