INTRODUCTION:

The International ArtCamp Tytsjerk will house 25 artists from all over the world from 23 July to 6 August. The artists of the four disciplines will stay with hospitable residents. There's room for several local artists to participate in the work groups as well. 

The people of Tytsjerk were also hospitable during World War II, when 170 refugees from Tiel came to this Frisian village. Those refugees stayed with the villagers who gave them a home until the end of the war. This story is the starting point for our joint artistic trip.

Inspired by this story you will be working together with the local artists and with the residents of the village, hearing each others stories, getting inspired by the people, the land and the unique views, working in public and private locations in the village, sharing ideas and techniques, enjoying an evening program and finally creating a joint artistic manifestation in the village.

The International ArtCamp Tytsjerk sees itself as a part of a network of cross-border art making that searches for solidarity and sharing.

The International ArtCamp Tytsjerk is one of 32 Under de Toer (under the tower) projects and De Reis that are included in the program of the European Cultural Capital of Leeuwarden-Fryslân 2018 (click here for more information about Leeuwarden-Fryslân European Capital of Culture 2018).
