On Thursday November 27th, 2025 the International Community Art Festival (ICAF), cordially invite you to the second edition of the Community Art Zwolle Symposium, organised by the partners of Community Art Zwolle, in collaboration with ICAF.
This symposium will focus on community art in practice. Inspiring examples from Zwolle will be shared, and together we listen to reflections from experts, and look ahead together, to ask: what does community art mean today, and how do we build the future of our field? From this question we will actively explore the next steps we can take to strengthen our network and where we want to go tomorrow.
After the afternoon program, a national networking event for community art makers will be organised. We will discuss the next steps in strengthening our network and collaboration with local and national partners.
We warmly invite you to bring a partner from a different sector along with you. Someone you collaborate with or would like to collaborate with. During the joint working meal, we will then explore the similarities, differences, and opportunities required to forge sustainable connections.
More information about the full program will follow very soon. In the meantime, mark the date in your calendar now and we hope to see you there!
