Support Nieuw Dakota!

Nieuw Dakota has had a bittersweet summer. Despite receiving positive recommendations from the AFK and Mondriaan Fund, we received the news that we will not be able to count on program funding starting next year. This news hit us hard, but we are not giving up. Behind the scenes, we are in discussions, joining forces with others to explore alternative scenarios, and developing a beautiful program for the fall of 2024. We are not pulling the plug without a fight and aim to prove that Nieuw Dakota is a unique place — showcasing artistic quality at the NDSM Wharf, offering talent the opportunity to develop, and providing the public with a welcoming and accessible meeting place. Starting January 2025, we will close our doors to the public to focus our energy on exploring a restart.  

Help us move forward! Here’s how you can support us:  
* Donate: You can support us by donating via [this payment link]. Donations will go directly to the artists we are collaborating with for our big finale this fall. By making as much noise as possible now, we hope to create a tide that will carry us into the future. If you would like to make a substantial or structural contribution, please contact us at kat@nieuwdakota.com. We would be happy to discuss how your support can be used as sustainably as possible.  
* Space Rental: Starting January 2025, our space will be vacant. Are you interested in renting it for a conference, workshop, or other purposes? Please get in touch with Ellis Kat at kat@nieuwdakota.com.
