The Korenbeurs Schiedam
The Art Centre Korenbeurs Schiedam Foundation aims to revitalize the historic Korenbeurs landmark by transforming the iconic building into a center for cultural exchange. This former commodity trading center, which was renovated in 2004, has been repurposed and will serve as a blank canvas for events such as art exhibitions, concerts, symposiums, book presentations and debates. The Foundation endeavors to invite artists, entrepreneurs and businesses to propose innovative uses for the architectural landmark.
4 the Korenbeurs Schiedam is free and open to the public from June 30th.
