A week in which the city opens its doors and offers you the best in art, design and architecture. Throughout the week, the city bustles with special openings, exhibitions in museums and art institutions, lectures, guided tours, performances, debates, pop-up shows, musical events and various fairs.

For the first time, performance art is represented as a destination, an initiative of Art Rotterdam. The Performance Show, curated by Zippora Elders, offers more than 12 non-stop performances, including performances by students from the Rotterdam academies, and can be seen in the building complex of AVL Mundo/Atelier Van Lieshout.

At Art Rotterdam, Projections, the video art department, has been completely redesigned by main sponsor citizenM, and the prize winner of the fourth NN Group Art Award will be presented in the booth where the work of the four nominees is on display.

Again this year, there are free shuttle buses that will take you from the Van Nelle Factory to the Museum Park, the Kop van Zuid and the Vierhavens area.For the complete program in the city: see the renewed website artrotterdamweek.com.
