Kunstbende winner Milou is looking forward to studying at ArtEZ

Milou Laroussiyen is a first-year student at the BEAR Fine Art course in Arnhem. In July, Milou won Kunstbende 2022 - the platform for young creators aged 13-18 - in the category Expo. In the video below, you can see that she is very excited to start her study at ArtEZ. Let the energy splash of your screen! 

Milou participated in almost every Kunstbende workshop. "I met so many new people at Kunstbende. And the final day was really fun, it felt like a festival day."

From Kunstbende to ArtEZ

The experiences Milou gained during Kunstbende are extremely valuable and useful during her studies at ArtEZ. In the BEAR Fine Art bachelor course, experimentation is one of the most important ways of discovering what kind of artist you are, what you stand for and what you want to make. Immersing yourself completely in the most diverse possibilities ensures that you can get the most out of your studies.

Search for the right course

"I chose to study in the fine art direction because I have always been interested in sculpture and painting. And fine art is the broadest direction, so you can still go in all directions."

Ready to start

Milou has just finished the introductory days of ArtEZ. Just like with Kunstbende, Milou also followed all kinds of workshops in different categories during the intro, this time with her new Arnhem fellow students. "I expect that at the BEAR Fine Art course I will mainly be trying out, making and learning a lot of things. I'm already looking forward to that."

ArtEZ and Kunstbende join forces to show young creative talent the way

ArtEZ has been one the main partners of Kunstbende since 2005. Our joint mission is to make art and culture accessible to everyone and to encourage young talent to fulfil their artistic potential. We have formulated a joint goal to inform, inspire and help young people navigate their way through the art and education in arts courses.
