Museum Night: Studio ARTIS
- ARTIS-Groote Museum
Tonight, discover how nature is the teacher of the arts. Step into the ARTIS-Groote Museum as if it were a blank canvas, with your senses as your brushes. Each of your senses will be stimulated, surprised and challenged.
Anouk Griffioen
Feast your eyes on the soft charcoal lines that artist Anouk Griffioen draws live on paper. See how charcoal is second nature to her, and how she uses it to capture nature in lines and shapes.
As you continue, your hands discover different textures: a porcupine, a spiked jacket, and then suddenly… something silky soft. As you listen closely to enticing sounds, your nose is surprised by scents that stir up memories.
Slowly, your hips begin to sway to the vinyl beats of The Underground Is Coming: groovy disco, house and global sounds. Then, headphones on, you surrender completely to Wordbites’ silent disco: catchy performance poetry that crackles, bites and caresses. Here, form dances with content, and content with form.
DrawingBooth
And once you’re sweaty and brimming with new impressions, there’s just one thing left to do: have your picture taken. Or so you think. Because this is no ordinary photobooth, but an analogue drawing machine. You’ll receive a warm welcome from the host, before artist Lieke Steen captures you and your friends on paper in just three minutes. From a blank canvas to a unique work of art: experience it for yourself during Museum Night at the Groote Museum.

Natura ARTIS Magistra: Nature is the teacher of art and science. This is what ARTIS has stood for since 1838. Nature continues to inspire us with its beauty, ingenuity and complexity. And where nature inspires wonder, art naturally follows.
