Kan ik een rondleiding boeken?
Op donderdag 15 en vrijdag 16 oktober organiseren we speciale previewrondleidingen voor scholen en opleidingen. Leerlingen en studenten zien Manifestations dan vóór de opening voor het grote publiek.
Van zaterdag 17 tot en met zondag 25 oktober zijn er rondleidingen voor organisaties, bedrijven, ouderen en andere groepen. Ook organiseren we aangepaste rondleidingen voor blinde en slechtziende bezoekers en bieden we VIP-arrangementen.
Een rondleiding duurt ongeveer een uur en kost € 6 exclusief btw per persoon. Is dit bedrag voor jouw school of organisatie een probleem? Neem dan contact met ons op.
Een rondleiding aanvragen kan bij Peter Soudant, coördinator rondleidingen, via inf0 [at] vormaat.nl. Vermeld het aantal personen, de gewenste datum en het gewenste dagdeel.

Accessible for the disabled, blind and visually impaired and wheelchairs (Wheelchair via lift at rear of building: ring road/north side). Catering facilities on the ground floor and all around.
Also, read especially below how to get there. We ask not to smoke at the entrance, due to accessibility for people with lung disease. Beware of epilepsy if you have sensitivity to flashes. There is low radiation, no fluorescent light. And if you have back pain: there are places to sit.
Do you have children with you? We have nature T-shirt stamping workshops almost daily, especially bring your own (children's) T-shirt, or bag, or dress or else. Cotton goes best.
And there are many artworks suitable for children.
Tours for the visually impaired on request. More background information about the artists is also available on request, or you can ask the artist in person, who is present 90% of the time.
The Veem falls right in the mile zone, so be careful with older diesels.
At the entrance are 5 steps, at the back entrance north side) none: there is a lift there and only 1 small threshold.
We ventilate the space continuously, but over the last weekend it was so busy that if you can’t handle the crowds, avoid the last weekend and come in the week instead. So come between 11 and 13 or after 16:00.
There is a train station nearby (Strijp S), rental bikes, shared cars and design rides (free with wristband: stop Ketelhuisplein), see https://ddw.nl/plan-your-visit/reachability.
Strijp-S is the old Philips site (formerly known as: The Forbidden City: old industrial heritage), where you can stroll around, there is a lot to do and see during DDW, and plenty of food and beverage outlets. It is the area in the many streets well around the Ketelhuisplein.
Note that the toilet is on the ground floor, behind the double lifts.
Can I take pictures?
Yes, share them online especially. People with really good cameras (or new phones): please share daily via e.g. WeTransfer to manifestations.nl at gmail.com and on your Facebook/Instagram, without logos on the photos, please mention the credits, for non-profit use.
Can an assistance dog/wheelchair enter?
Yes, of course! Alternatively, via the disabled lift at the rear of the building.
How do I get there?
You can also use Google Maps Manifestations Type it in, and you'll be fine.

Which day should I go?
All days are fun! We are open daily between 11am-6:30pm.
Weekends are the busiest, during the week there are many school tours and some artists take a walk themselves. The second weekend is the busiest and short queues can form between 2pm and 5pm. The artists are still the "freshest" the first weekend.
Manifestations is free, but for the rest: please do share your ticket, or explore how you can help each other further.
Press: Don't forget to visit Manifestations on Wednesday 16h for the Young Talent Award.
How much does it cost?
But you guys get a lot of money from the funds, right?
Art funds are often 6x oversubscribed, we have now applied for a relatively low amount per fund, to be eligible to get something.
These contributions are not covered by the ticket price. Therefore, we are asking for a small contribution for the tour. This tour is super fun to do: you will be guided through the exhibition.
Even if you want to organize tours yourself at Manifestations: ask in advance.
Besides: it is also good to support artists and arts initiatives, in America they already do that more than here: it is tax-deductible (cultural anbi: if you donate your profits, you get 50% back from the Tax Office).
Besides: we all need inspiration and culture. What else do we have? Shopping Sundays and commercial television?
If you already have everything, feel free to make a donation to an artist individually, adopt as Angel, or support the Violavirus Foundation.
This can be done on site or via www.violavirus.nl/anbi
There is an imbalance in the world between technology that develops commercially, with technology that develops for the purpose of a better world, one with "sweeter technology" aka TECH FOR GOOD; the latter we encourage.
