About

Stichting Het HEM is a foundation affiliated with Het HEM BV that has an ANBI status, with an independent board – providing a broad and international network in the arts sector and the socio-cultural domain – and one director appointed by the board. Stichting Het HEM has been commissioned to produce a multidisciplinary programme that appeals to a broad local, national and international audience. Our programme focuses on experimentation, human values, the experience of art and the unique context of our building.

Located at the intersection of a cosmopolitan city and rural areas, industry and nature, past and future, Het HEM is uniquely positioned to become a homebase for anyone in need of inspiration, critical insight and new encounters as a sounding board to reflect on our current times. With its programme, Het HEM supports a new movement that encourages artistic experimentation and lowers the threshold of art for its audiences, with the aim to increase cultural participation and public involvement in social concerns.

To achieve this goal and to position Het HEM as a leading cultural institution, Stichting Het HEM is actively looking to engage local, national and international artists, culture-makers, organisations and financial partners.

Het HEM endorses and implements the Fair Practice Code, Governance Code Cultuur and Code Diversiteit en Inclusie on all organisational levels.
