Stichting NDSM-werf organises special Art Tours throughout the year. During these guided walks, you will learn more about the temporary artworks on the wharf, the artists behind them, and why their work belongs at NDSM. The tours are usually led by artist Su Tomesen together with a special guest. The next Art Tour takes place on 2 August, with Su Tomesen as guide and special guest Maryam Kalami, caretaker of NDSM Lusthof garden. Further Art Tours will take place on 23 August and 3 October. Keep an eye on our agenda for more information.

The IJ-Hallen are the largest flea market in Europe and take place about once every three weeks on the outside of NDSM (spring and summer) or inside the NDSM Loods (autumn and winter). Are you looking for that one pair of vintage sneakers, a new antique wall mirror, a large selection of LP records, or just some new additions to your wardrobe? Come and browse the stalls at NDSM!

Starting in September, Kindertoneel Westerpark will once again be offering weekly theater classes at the NDSM wharf for children aged 4 to 12. In small groups, children will playfully develop their creativity, imagination, and self-confidence through theater and movement. Additionally, special summer workshops will be held at NDSM this summer, from August 10th to 12th.

At the NDSM Children's Atelier, imagination takes center stage. Children design and create their own unique pieces using a wide variety of recycled materials from the artists' studios on the wharf. Guided by these artists, who believe that every child is creative and can be encouraged to bring their ideas to life, children work from concept to creation. This edition: we'll be making Floating Messages!

IN TUNE is about finding a new balance between human beings and their environment by appealing to our capacity for hearing and listening. Just as tuning a musical instrument requires extremely attentive listening and observation, we must continue to listen and, as humans, tune ourselves to our surroundings. In Tune is active from 12:00 to 17:00, with an interval of 5 minutes.

Tot het einde van dit jaar zijn op NDSM twee auto-installaties van kunstenaar Bart Eysink Smeets te zien. In deze speelse werken, die verspreid over de werf staan geparkeerd, staat de auto centraal als symbool van onze omgang met ruimte, beweging en gebruik.

Lusthoven have a rich history as places that were meant to stimulate the senses. At the same time, they increasingly became an exclusive place for the wealthy owners to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. One example is the private Lusthoven aan de Vecht, where only wealthy Amsterdammers used to go. With this contemporary NDSM Lusthof, you can Studio Ossidiana a parallel between the pleasure gardens of yesteryear and the courtyards of today's apartment complexes, which are often only accessible to owners or tenants.

Under Pressure is the winning project of the NDSM Open Call 2023 by Catarina Garcia and Jim Du Pan. The winning proposal consists of a colossal steel sphere that appears to rise above the shipyard. The base of the work is formed by Crane 7, a derelict crane that in its heyday transported pieces of steel from the warehouse to the slipways, where ships were assembled and restored. The sphere is illuminated from within and functions as a beacon of light for the surrounding area, also visible from the water. The frame of the sphere is wrapped in plants that change with the seasons.

The two winning projects of the NDSM Open Call 2024, now presented in 2025 – Look Up by Renée Marcus Janssen and Shells by Lyangelo Vasquez – will be on view in the NDSM Loods from 12 September. Through the annual NDSM Open Call, Stichting NDSM-werf and Stichting Kinetisch Noord make it possible for artists and creatives based at the former shipyard in Amsterdam-Noord to realise new artistic projects.
