The Balcony curates exhibitions that support the presentation of emerging practices, with a focus on alternative display formats, fostering collaborations, and encouraging cross-generational exchange. We organize 3 to 4 exhibitions per year, each accompanied by an extensive public program, as well as an annual exhibition exchange with other European project spaces. At the heart of our mission is a deep curiosity about the frictions and seemingly invisible processes shaping our world today. We strive to engage audiences and artists in generative discussions about artistic production, labor, and economic sustainability while cultivating a community of local and international collaborators. Our exhibitions frequently explore the conditions of art-making, questioning the role of artistic practices in society and creating formal and conceptual links between the subjective positions of the citizen, the worker, and the artist.
Funding:
Our financing mix has been structured through a combination of local and national funding sources. In recent years, we secured support from Stroom Den Haag, the Mondriaan Fonds Kunstenaar Honorarium, and Erfgoed Starters. Additionally, we generate revenue through sales of drinks and editions, rental fees from exhibition and studio spaces, and private sponsorship from the local AV company SBAE. While project funding has enabled fair remuneration for artists and some of our team members, the organization continues to seek structural funding to ensure stable compensation for its core team.
