Welcome at ndsm

NDSM in Amsterdam-Noord is a creative hotspot spanning no less than 10 hectares. What was once an industrial shipyard has become a vibrant area filled with makers, art, culture, hospitality, and innovative entrepreneurship. With impressive views, art in the public space, and plenty of freedom to explore, NDSM is the place where ideas grow and stories come together.

What makes your inner spark burn bright? It is with this question that artist Isa van Lier enters into conversation with pupils aged 10–12 at Basisschool De Baanbreker, located next to NDSM. These conversations form the starting point for a collaborative art project that will culminate in 2027 in the construction of a lighthouse-shaped sculpture at NDSM.
