Our Vondelpark Atelier is a small but high end Amsterdam based international art school that focuses on (1) the development of artistic creativity through practice, (2) the linking of the different art disciplines (understanding art as a concept), and of classic and contemporary art (for a historic perspective). Unless explicitly announced otherwise, all courses and workshops are taught in the English(UK) language.

Our courses (fixed time table) start every 2 months, while our workshops can be organized on request, within a week. To ensure individual feedback, group sizes are kept small (for workshops, the maximum is 8). This allows our staff to schedule most classes in their individual studios. The school also offers a summer program.

Our main objective is to offer high quality art education. To us this means that any class should be thorough, clearly structured and presented, and, last but not least, inspiring. To meet and maintain this objective, new staff are assessed not merely on artistic skills, but also on social skills, academic level and didactic talent.

Our present staff consist of Peter Dammers (fine arts, photography and audiovisual), Juliana Stankiewicz, Olga Bednarz, Julia Gajewska and Ece Abay (graphic arts), Henry Kalb (theater), Yawen Fu (several disciplines).

Classes/Sessions generally take place in the Amsterdam Vondelpark area, and for larger groups at our Harbour Art Room (H.A.R.) in IJmuiden.
