We are KONT Klub, a fluid art collective rooted in Eindhoven. We focus on the creative community by organising events that bring together (non)artists in our city.
In this fast-paced and demanding world, we take slowing down, trusting each other, and being curious very seriously. These values are the pillars of KONT Klub, reflected through action, togetherness and equality. We prioritise building durable relationships: boosting and connecting sensitive and sensible artists, designers, writers, photographers, musicians, performers... so they can collectively take a prominent place in society.
KONT Klub is currently structured in three main programme lines: KONTfulness (experiencing an artwork), Feedback sessions (sharing an artwork) and Slowdates (meeting ground). These events are recurring bimonthly. We are an organic initiative that resonates with enthusiasm and fresh ideas. As our KONT community grows, we aim to continue introducing new programmes and projects that arise from it.
