Kunstbende Noord-Holland

North Holland youth showcase their creativity in eight different categories: Dance, DJ, Expo, Fashion, Film, Music, Language and Theater. You can register until a few weeks before the semi-final via kunstbende.nl.

The semi-finals are open to everyone aged 13 to 19 years old and to secondary school students. You can participate solo, in duos or with a group. What matters is that the act is entirely your own creation. Participation is free and gives young people the chance to express themselves.

During the semi-final, every participant receives feedback from a professional jury within their category. There are incentive prizes to win, ranging from studio time to coaching. For many artists, Kunstbende was the first stage where they could showcase their talent – an experience they won't forget soon. Well-known names like Trijntje Oosterhuis, Shay Latokulan and Martin Garrix paved the way.

Meervaart provides the ideal setting for this creative fusion. With modern facilities, atmospheric halls and a committed team, it's an inspiring place for participants and audience alike. The semi-final is the perfect opportunity for young people to take the stage, come together and make new connections. Participants can also qualify for the national final at the Kunstbende Young Creators Festival.

So if you're between 13 and 19 years old, want to show your work and get feedback? Then join the Kunstbende North Holland semi-final! Bring your friends and supporters and experience a day full of creativity, fun and inspiration. Don't miss this chance and let your talent shine at Meervaart!

Kunstbende North Holland is located at Meervaart Studio. The semi-final takes place on April 18, 2026.
