No business as usual, cultural boycott Israel

SPRING joins the cultural boycott of Israel www.cultureleboycotisrael.nu . Committing to a boycott is never something to be taken lightly. Perhaps especially in the arts sector, where we are constantly working to build bridges, foster connections, and deepen mutual understanding. But what we hold dear in the arts also includes honesty, justice, and freedom.

Changes in Subvisory Board

This summer, a number of changes took place in SPRING's Supervisory Board. Franc Faaij has been appointed chair of the Supervisory Board. He succeeds Tanja Mlaker, who has held this position for the past seven years. We thank her for her commitment and excellent cooperation. We are delighted that Cécile de Vos joined the Supervisory Board this summer.
