Supporting New Art

OUTSET NETHERLANDS

Outset Netherlands was founded in 2012 by Gwen Neumann. At a crucial moment for arts funding in the country Outset NL seeks to engage patrons in supporting public museums, galleries and projects. 
The organisation will focus on the production of new works of art and their subsequent donation to public collections; institutional acquisitions,

  



exhibition programmes and publications. The organisation seeks to engage with artists at a pivotal moment in their career, working with them to realize ambitious projects within the public realm. Patrons of Outset NL seek a deeper understanding of the artists and organisations the Fund works with whilst playing an active role in strengthening 

  

 

the international landscape of contemporary art. Patrons are invited to attend an extensive programme of events that include curator-led tours of exhibitions, studio visits and international trips with leading art professionals in conjunction with our partners.
