Hunger & Focus
Artwell Residency have been thrilled to host and now to present Hunger & Focus the Final Presentation of the first group of 19 artists. Six months ago the artists were thrown into the deep end of this pilot project - during a pandemic. With the unprecedented circumstances and an experimental start to the project they have more than stayed afloat and have resiliently navigated their way in their bubble. Not only has their research come together but new insights and lasting bonds have surely been formed. We are confident and proud to welcome you to the Final Presentation!
This is also a moment to come together as restrictions loosen, to meet the inhabitants of the stARTwell building. Alter, 4th and 5th floor, who hosts creative’s and their business and to have a tasting of the concept restaurant LeSafaja, 4th floor, with music and their passion for food. All of this in the hub of stARTwell. Join us and be assured that after this period everyone will know where to find us - in this industrial neighbourhood with its multiple influences and the living rhythms of Amsterdam ZO. A unique part of Amsterdam!
