Wanted – restorer for 3 glass art works by Marinus Brinkgreve – Groningen
Marinus Brinkgreve (Laren, 1918 – Groningen, 2011) was a visual artist. You may know him from his sculpture (Untitled) that stands along the pond in Stadspark.
In addition to being a sculptor, illustrator and screen printer (among other things), he was also a glass artist. Marinus’ daughter W.H. Brinkgreve is now offering three of her father’s glass art works for restoration: whoever restores the work can also keep the work. You can find an impression of the works in the photos below.

Open Call – Groninger Visual Arts Stipends 2024
The Groninger Visual Arts Stipends are awarded annually to stimulate the artistic development and cultural entrepreneurship of starting, promising visual artists and designers. The stipends encourage new work that can make a meaningful contribution to contemporary art in the Netherlands. Since 2023, these stipends are the successors of the George Verberg Stipendium and the Hendrik de Vries Stipendium, both of which have been awarded to young artistic talent for decades.
The two stipends each consist of an amount of €20,000 for a working period of one year, and are linked to support programs in which the talent development of the artist is central. In doing so, the artist makes use of the network, expertise and facilities of the Noordenaars; a platform for presentation institutions in the Northern Netherlands consisting of 12 organisations.
The collaborating parties of the Municipality of Groningen, Kunstpunt Groningen and Minerva Art Academy attach great importance to a qualitative support process for the winning artists as part of the stipends. In this way, they offer more sustainable support for the development of artistic practice.
Land and Horizon, a local and an international focus
The stipends both have their own orientation:
Land is focused on researching and making an impact in the local region. Artists are encouraged to work in the surroundings of Groningen and the Northern Netherlands. This can be done, for example, by researching this environment, working on location, addressing social and societal issues and/or by working together with local communities.
Horizon has an international orientation in which the artist is encouraged to spread his wings and develop a (part of a) project abroad. This process starts in the North with a preliminary investigation, and then leaves for a location outside the Netherlands for, for example, a residency, collaboration or presentation. At the end of the process, the artist will return to the North, to share the results, experience and knowledge that the artist has collected with the local public and the cultural field.
To be eligible to participate in the open call:
- You are an artist living and mainly working in the municipality of Groningen, graduated from a recognised art study programme.
- You are not older than 35 years* at the time of submission; evidenced by a copy of a valid identity document.
- You have a CV and portfolio, website or social media account that shows that you work at a professional level.
- You have not won the former George Verbergstipendium and the Hendrik de Vriesstipendium before.
- You work in one or more of the following disciplines of visual arts & design: painting, graphic design, industrial design, sculpture, applied art, environmental art, monumental art, social art, installation, performance, photography and film, ceramics, illustration and video and media art or combinations thereof.
- Complete the online form with your information no later than Sept. 15.
- Attach your resume and portfolio, website and/or social media.
- The form provides optional space to describe a brief plan or idea, share in a text, video or audio clip, or otherwise with the selection committee.
