We Are Public scouts new talent during ArtEZ finals 2026

ArtEZ finals x We Are Public

From dance and fashion to music, theatre, design and fine art. ArtEZ finals is the moment when new talent steps into the public eye. For this edition, we are working together with We Are Public. This is a platform that has spent the past ten years building a strong position for arts and culture in the Netherlands. Driven by the belief that creativity and new perspectives contribute to a better world, they bring makers and audiences closer together.

Through their platform and membership, they generate greater visibility for culture and attract more visitors to theatres, cinemas and museums. At the same time, they are building an engaged community of people who are open to new ideas and actively seek out what is happening in the art world.

At the moment, We Are Public curators are actively scouting graduating ArtEZ talent. Selected makers will be featured prominently on the platform. In the coming period, We Are Public will focus on ArtEZ finals.

Next step for graduating talent

We are pleased with this collaboration. It gives our students the opportunity to be visible to a broad audience as well as within the professional field of the cultural sector. Their work is presented on a platform that reaches beyond the academy.

Exactly what ArtEZ finals is about: showing our makers of the future.
