About the Van Doesburghuis

This house was the former residence of the artist duo Theo and Nelly van Doesburg. Since 2017, it has been made available to artists working in the many fields in which Theo and Nelly van Doesburg were active: architecture, visual arts, literature, music, design, and the performing arts.

The residency is a joint initiative of Dutch cultural funds: the Performing Arts Fund, the Creative Industries Fund, the Film Fund, the Mondriaan Fund, and the Dutch Foundation for Literature.
