During Kunstfabriek 1.0, children, ages 6 and up, spend a week making art together and immersing themselves in different, analog techniques. Kunstfabriek 2.0 is for children ages 10 and up. They discover and learn to work with a 3D printer, heatpress, a laser cutter, AR and VR and much more.

Unfortunately, your child is just too young. Children can participate in Kunstfabriek if they are 6 years old at the start. We would love to welcome your child starting next year!

There is a team of young artists (17+) ready to guide the participants during Kunstfabriek. das Kunst provides support for the young artists and provides professional training as artistic supervisors, by our permanent artistic staff.

Participants are welcome from 8:30 a.m. each day. We start at 9am and finish at 4pm. You can pick up your child until 5pm. On Fridays there is a show time at 4pm.

At Kunstfabriek 1.0, your child can participate for one or more days.
At Kunstfabriek 2.0, register your child for the full week.
