Deadline: 01-Aug-21
The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Dutch Embassy in the United Kingdom now has funding available for cultural organisations in the UK that want to show work by Dutch artists and/or designers that focuses on issues like pollution, habitat destruction and climate change.
Human activity is having an impact on the world’s environment, its climate and its biodiversity. Scientists tell them a disaster is looming, but the damage can still be limited if they take action quickly.
Many artists in the Netherlands take inspiration from these manmade crises, and many Dutch designers come up with solutions – small and big – that can help to reduce mankind’s impact on the planet.
