THE GOAL AND YOUR CONTRIBUTION

The goal of Young Stedelijk is to make the world of modern and contemporary art and design more widely accessible to young people. Through members, ambassadors, and collaborations with other venues, Young Stedelijk aspires to be a sounding board for the young society in Amsterdam.

As a member, you contribute your dues to special projects at the Stedelijk. Every year, we announce a work of art that can be purchased thanks to Young Stedelijk. Thanks in part to the annual contributions of Young Stedelijk members, in 2021 the Stedelijk was able to purchase the work To Teach or to Assume Authority (2018-2019) by Sarah Zapata, an important addition to the museum's collection.

AMBASSADORS 2023 – 2024

Young Stedelijk ambassadors contribute to the strategy, events and collaborations of Young Stedelijk so that we can offer you a challenging program. Each ambassador contributes their own background, expertise and creativity to enhance the versatile and experimental character of Young Stedelijk.
