“Amsterdam Art Week promises a full week’s worth of discoveries, and within a few days the visitor is struck by how committed the city is to supporting art of every level and history. For some, the polish and shine of established artists might draw attention. For others it’s the verve and passion of the student artists that will cast exquisite sights in the mind’s bronze.”
—Trebuchet Magazine, reporting on last year’s iteration of the city’s premier art event.
