Artichoque Art Gallery

Artichoque Art Gallery

Artichoque Art Gallery has specialized in contemporary art since its founding in 2016. Initially, the gallery was mainly active online, supported by pop-up exhibitions at locations such as the Kruisherenhotel in Maastricht and the Kurhaus in Scheveningen. Now, the gallery is located in a stately monumental building at Bredestraat 4 in Maastricht, just a stone's throw from the Vrijthof. Maastricht is a city where art and culture have traditionally played an important role in social life. Artichoque Art is open every Thursday to Saturday from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. On other days, visitors are welcome by appointment.

Connection with Maastricht

Over the past years, Artichoque Art has developed into a fixture in Maastricht's gallery scene. The gallery mainly represents artists who have a connection with the city. The result is a diverse offering, ranging from young emerging artists to established artists with an extensive and versatile oeuvre.

Founder Erik Stroink believes it is important to provide space in his gallery for young talent, recently graduated from the local art academy. Promising students from the Maastricht art academy regularly get the chance to exhibit their work in the gallery. For these talents, it’s a golden opportunity: often, this is their first chance to present their work to a diverse and interested audience.

Maastricht Gallery Weekend

Artichoque Art is a co-initiator of the Maastricht Gallery Weekend, which is held on the third weekend of October. During this weekend, various galleries open their doors with a diverse and festive program. Additionally, Artichoque Art is involved in several other cultural initiatives in the region, such as Jeker Jazz Art Live.

The gallery emphasizes the importance of preserving cultural heritage. This is evident, among other things, from its strong ties with the Stichting Restauratie Atelier Limburg (SRAL). SRAL is a large and leading institution for execution, research, and education in four restoration disciplines: paintings, sculptures, historic interiors, and modern art. By utilizing the years of knowledge and experience available at SRAL, Artichoque Art can also further improve its own services.

Venue Rental

The inspiring spaces of the gallery are perfect for meetings, training sessions, and other gatherings. The various indoor spaces and an outdoor area are suitable for small and medium-sized groups ranging from four to around 40 guests.
