Art Without Borders

On Friday, September 19, Bonnefanten will be full of energy for a special night: the Euregional edition of Bonnefanten Free Fridays (BFF). Art has no borders and during this edition, you'll see and feel exactly that.

Together with art studios from the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, we offer a night full of surprising art. This art is not always in the spotlight, but it shows new ways to see what art can be. The artists share work from their hearts: personal, unique, and full of meaning. They respond to the artworks, the building, and to you as a visitor. And the best part: the artists will be there too! It’s a special chance to experience their world up close.

What can you expect?

Musica Sacra Maastricht (NL)
Enjoy special music played in different places in the museum. Students from the Royal Conservatory The Hague made new music just for this night. The theme this year is about places that are sacred — or sometimes doubted.

Créahm, Liège (BE)
Créahm is a lively art studio for people with intellectual disabilities. They make visual and performing art that moves you. Not as therapy, but as true artists with a strong personal voice.

Kunstwerkstatt, Aachen (DE)
Here, artists with disabilities grow their talent with freedom and creativity. Their work is full of surprises and stories. On this night, they show visual art that answers the museum’s exhibition.

Kunstatelier Covida, Hasselt (BE)
Artists decide what and how they want to create. They try new shapes, colors, and materials. On September 19, they bring a lively mix of performances and visual art.

During Bonnefanten Free Fridays, all current exhibitions are free to visit.

What are the Bonnefanten Free Fridays?

A free evening at the museum. With and for you.

Museums are the treasures of society in which past and present come together. They are the memory of the city, region and country and offer new windows to the world or enlarge the existing perspectives. Especially in this time, where everything revolves around experiencing and experiencing yourself, museums are perhaps more important than ever. They are places for reflection, wonder and astonishment, all emotions that give museums an intrinsic value. This must of course be accessible to everyone. With #BFF we hope to give more people that accessibility.

During Bonnefanten Free Fridays (#BFF), we open the doors for a free evening in the museum. Each edition, we invite a surprising association, club, foundation or sub-culture to organise a unique programme together. As a starting point for the programme, we take the collections of ancient and contemporary art or the temporary exhibitions currently on show in the museum. The programming consists of various activities, which challenge the visitor to change from spectator to participant or even co-creator.

Made possible by Provincie Limburg, VriendenLoterij and Ministerie van Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap.
