Each year KPMG Meijburg & Co awards the Meijburg Art Commission as a means to offer talented individuals in the cultural sector the opportunity to create new works of art and present them to a wider public. The winner gets to create an artwork that will become part of Meijburg’s art collection.
Five years since Meijburg Art Commission was first awarded
Since 2015 the artists exhibiting their work at Unseen Amsterdam − the prestigious international event for new photography – have been invited to submit a proposal for an artwork for Meijburg’s art collection. The winner is given the opportunity to realize the proposed artwork. The sixth winner of the Meijburg Art Commission, Popel Coumou, was announced during Unseen 2021.
To achieve honest and fair taxation, it’s essential that we don’t become mired down in old patterns, but that we move with the times and always view new developments from a fresh perspective. Artists are eminently capable of breaking through existing patterns and inspiring us. Wilbert Kannekens - Chairperson, Managing Board KPMG Meijburg
