HandShake 7, 2022
Marie-José van den Hout, the visionary owner, coordinator, and curator of Galerie MARZEE, Nijmegen, NL selected 12 artists from former HANDSHAKE projects for the HANDSHAKE 7 one-year programme (see who they are).
HS7 programme was designed to provide an inspirational exploration into the processes of art-making, leading to the development of a body of work for a professional exhibition at Marzee that opened on December 4, 2022.
Throughout 2022, the participants had various art development opportunities, including in the first quarter masterclasses online with Estella Saez Vilanova and feedback sessions from established artists Katharina Dettar, Annalise Plandteid, and Iris Bodemer. At the end of 2022, coach Sarah McClintock guided the participants in how their artworks were stacked up from the audience’s perspective.
The HS7 package aimed to foster creative development and excitement with professional support and feedback, resulting in a high-profile exhibition at Marzee.
