Welcome to Amsterdam!
Whether you are planning your first visit, or have lived here for years, our podcast Art City Amsterdam gives you a taste of the city’s rich and diverse art scene.
Joost Bosland and Rubiah Balsem interview leading curators, artists, collectors, and politicians about why they love their city. Along the way, we’ll take you to one of Europe’s most important cultural hubs, the Museum Square, and far off the beaten path. Our guests share their favourite spots in the city, the best places to eat, project spaces you should not miss, and young emerging artists working in Amsterdam on which to keep an eye.
This podcast is produced by Stevenson and Studio Balsem.
Music by the Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw.
