Netherlands Green Light Tender

By approving the budget of the Almere Urbanization Fund 2021-2025 the municipality of Almere and the province of Flevoland have given the green light for the realization of a floating artistic pavilion. The pavilion opens with the start of Floriade Expo 2022. It serves as the smaller and temporary preview of the new art museum in Almere to be developed later. The pavilion will be used by the future museum as a temporary annex for at least 5 years. It will be a place to experiment with different forms of programming and a place where residents and visitors of Almere and Flevoland can get to know the new art museum.

It is part of the Almere 2.0 program in which the municipality of Almere the province of Flevoland and the national government invest in the qualities of the city. Alderman Hilde van Garderen Experimentation is part of the city of Almere. We have done this from the beginning and will continue to do so. Now experimenting with different forms of programming comes together with adding value to our city through art and culture. I am looking forward to taking the temporary annex into use during the Floriade as a precursor to the future art museum and thus adding even more value to our city. Accessible and appealing artThe realization of the pavilion is an important first step towards the future art museum in Almere. The city will grow to 350000 inhabitants in the coming years and wants to expand the cultural offering in a way that matches the qualities of the city and that has a supraregional appeal. The future museum will focus on accessible appealing art with an emphasis on large-scale multimedia art and landscape art. The starting point is the own meaningful profile of Almere and Flevoland in which pioneering spaciousness daring and talent development are central. An innovative museum for with and by Almateurs and Flevolanders. We cannot only build houses and roads for the growth of Flevoland said Deputy Michiel Rijsberman. Culture plays a key role in our daily life. An art museum of international level will make an important contribution to our economic and social development. The construction of this special pavilion is a first step that should not be overestimated.
