Young Grunn Artist II (YGA II)

YGA II is the one-year development program for young talented artists of Groningen and is a collaboration of NP3 and the Groninger Museum.

The Young Grunn Artist II trajectory is an extension to the current work practice of the artist. In addition NP3 and the Groninger Museum offer over the course of one year all the necessary support on content, business and promotion to professionalize. They will provide the YGA artists tools to obtain the personal artistic aims and the opportunity to gain the necessary connection to the (inter)national art world.

Next to individual coaching, the artists will receive a personal work and development budget which gives them the possibility to create new work or hire expertise; to network with art professionals, take part in a short international exchange program, or make a short working trip to an artistic and cultural metropolis.

At the end of YGA II trajectory the curators of NP3 and Groninger Museum decide which artist convinced the most and gets the opportunity to an exhibition at the Groninger Museum.

From over 40 submissions three artists were selected for the YGA II trajectory:

Esther de Graaf

Berndnaut Smilde

Adri Schokker
