Stroom Den Haag (an independent foundation founded in 1989)
is a centre for art and architecture with a wide range of activities.
Starting from the visual arts, architecture, urban planning and design
the program focuses on the urban environment.
Stroom's policy is not committed to any particular movement. The centre
is open to everyone with stimulating ideas or a need for information
regarding art and the urban environment. It aims at being a hospitable
and stimulating platform. Starting from this mentality Stroom, in
collaboration with other institutions, wants to contribute to the
permanent development of the reflection on the city and the part that
can be played by the visual arts in this context.
Stroom organizes exhibitions, projects, lectures, workshops and
excursions. It initiates research and debates to stimulate the transfer
of knowledge and the development of ideas concerning art, architecture
and related disciplines. Within this context Stroom expands its
library, develops web dossiers on its website and issues publications.
In addition, Stroom's policy is focused on stimulating the art climate
of The Hague and improving the visibility of art and artists from The
Hague.
The topic of ‘being public' is the connecting factor between many of
Stroom's activities. Stroom mediates, advises and offers suggestions to
artists and supports a large number of projects in public space.
The name Stroom was chosen because it stands for energy and movement.
Stroom Den Haag is supported financially by the city of The Hague. The program is also made possible by the Mondriaan Fund, the DOEN Foundation and the Creative Industries Fund NL.
