Ode to talent
Foundation 'Stel je Voor'
The Stage for Young Talent
Our foundation ‘Stel je Voor!’ has one clear mission: to give young, talented artists the opportunity to present themselves and their work to a broader audience. Whether it’s theater, photography, fashion, visual arts, media, or other creative expressions—we embrace it all. This broad approach makes our search exciting and gives unexpected art forms a chance to shine in the spotlight.
At ‘Stel je Voor!’, we leave nothing to chance. We make our entire theater, from staff to technical facilities, available free of charge to selected talents. This gives them a unique opportunity to showcase themselves prominently in the spotlight. And it pays off: over the years, we’ve supported many young artists, provided them with a larger platform, and offered them an unforgettable experience.
We are incredibly proud of the talents who have made their dreams come true with us. Like theater-maker Stein Janssen, who enchanted us with his play De Minnaar. Or photographer Richard Terborg, who shared his creative vision with his Freak Out exhibition. Fashion designer Nathaly Pater with her fashion show, Merel Halfweeg with her clothing line Halfway There…, and stylist Kimberley Wenas with her exhibition Dreams Money Can’t Buy. Each of them has inspired and moved us deeply.
