Agenda

The University of Twente has quite an extensive art collection. It was partly formed by a gift from the state at the end of the BKR (Fine Art Regulation) period, partly through the acquisition of works of art by the university itself and finally through the offer to acquire a large number of works from the art collection of Paul Citroen. This makes it a collection with very diverse work due to its different origins.

To mark the 60th anniversary of the UT, a new work of art will change the entrance to our campus forever. A sculpture of 10 meters high, made by Atelier Van Lieshout, will rise at the entrance. Until its construction in April, its appearance will remain a mystery. During the period of construction until the unveiling on 19 May, Vrijhof Culture will build and unveil an exhibition around "The Head" from Atelier Van Lieshout in the small exhibition room.

During the WAK, you can visit activities all over Enschede that focus on the passion and fun of amateur art. WAK Enschede connects with the national campaign 'iktoon' (translated: I show). During this period, Vrijhof Culture offers a stage to students and employees who are creative in their free time. Amateur art is put in the spotlight! This year we give them the opportunity to show their work in the showcases of building Spiegel. Come and see what people of the UT make in their free time.
