Celebrate Creative Expression, Artistic Community, and the Launch of The Messy Magical Muse DeckEnjoy craft workshop demonstrations, a pop-up art market and exhibition, an interactive "creative adventure," and the chance to connect with local artists and makers, residents, and friends in Amsterdam's quirky Staatsliedenbuurt.
This free-to-enter event, organized by Kissing the Muse Creative Adventures in collaboration with the Stichting Buurtwerkplaatsen and friends, celebrates the launch of The Messy Magical Muse card deck and doubles as a fundraiser and open house for the Neighborhood Workshops Foundation.
Similar to tarot and oracle cards but delightfully different, The Messy Magical Muse deck inspires you to find your own answers through collage, mixed media, and expressive writing.
Established in 1985 and rooted in the ideals of the squatters movement, Stichting Buurtwerkplaatsen remains an authentic, affordable space where people of all backgrounds can come together to learn and explore creative, technical, and artistic activities.
What to Expect:
• Pop-Up Art Market & Exhibition: Explore works by neighborhood artists and makers in a pop-up art market/exhibition (10% of all sales will go to support the foundation)
(If you are an artist/maker or volunteer interested in participating, please sign up here.)
• Games & Prizes: Participate in an interactive creative adventure/scavenger hunt (with prizes!)
• Open Workshops/Demos: Get inspired by live workshop demonstrations from 14:00 to 16:00 (painting/mixed-media, ceramics, glass & glass fusing, jewelry making, screenprinting, woodworking, and metalwork)
• Food & Drink: Indulge in delicious snacks and drinks prepared by neighborhood foodies and friends (for purchase)
• And More! Music, spoken word performances, art installations, and video projections
This event is open to the public. You can drop by anytime between 14:00 and 18:00. A launch party presentation and prize giveaways for The Messy Magical Muse card deck will begin at 16:30. Since you'll be in the neighborhood, don't miss the magical ambiance of the art projections on the water tower by BuurtLicht from 20:00—22:00 or the after-party at Cafe de Pianist.
This event is free to enter. RSVPs appreciated.
If you are an artist/maker or volunteer interested in participating, please sign up here.
