Part of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam is Young Stedelijk, led by Fleur Schoonhoven and a group of about 15 Ambassadors. Young Stedelijk is an initiative that offers a new generation of culture lovers the opportunity to become associated with the Stedelijk Museum. The Young Stedelijk has about 300 members. The Young Stedelijk Ambassadors have been selected on the basis of their knowledge, unique input and expertise. Together they form a diverse group of professionals who help shape the programming and membership and propose new initiatives. In March a new group of Ambassadors will be announced who will take over the baton for next year. 

Young Stedelijk member:

As a Young Stedelijk member you get a look behind the scenes of the Stedelijk Museum and you meet a mix of about three hundred young (ages 20 to 40) art and culture lovers. During a series of events, including openings of Stedelijk exhibitions, art parties and visits to art fairs, galleries, auction houses and studios, you will learn more about modern and contemporary art and design and become part of the Stedelijk community. With the membership fee, a contribution is made to special projects of the Stedelijk Museum. For example, every year a work of art is announced that can be purchased thanks to Young Stedelijk.    

In conversation with…

In conversation with … New to the Young Stedelijk program is 'In Conversation with …' – a series of conversations between Young Stedelijk ambassadors with Stedelijk artists that take place in the artist's studio. In the first edition that has already taken place, Marjolein van Zanten, designer interviewed Dirk van der Kooij in his studio in Zaandam.    Young Stedelijk offers a number of members the opportunity to attend the interview and go on a studio tour. Fragments of the interviews can be seen on Instagram via @ysamsterdam and here on the website of the Stedelijk Museum. Ace & Tate is a partner in the entire series 'In Conversation With …'.
