De Nieuwe Vincenten

The world-famous Vincent van Gogh has close ties to Brabant. He was born in Zundert, attended school in Tilburg, lived in Etten-Leur during his teenage years, and painted his masterpiece De Aardappeleters in Nuenen. A true Brabant talent, then.

Who knows — there might be budding talents out there right now. That’s why every year we search for talented young artists in Brabant. The program is called De Nieuwe Vincenten van Brabant.

Learning New Techniques
If you’re one of the selected Vincents of Brabant, a challenging program awaits you. You’ll embark on a rollercoaster ride where you’ll be challenged to draw and paint. Of course, this should be fun and enjoyable, but it can also be a bit of a struggle at times. You’ll learn various new techniques that will add variety to your portfolio.

Together with Other Young People
As one of De Nieuwe Vincenten you’re not alone. You’ll be working alongside other children and young people from your own neighborhood as well as other Vincents throughout Brabant. Teachers and artists will guide you in your development. Throughout the process, you’ll discover what you’re good at—and perhaps what you’re not quite as good at.

Talent Pyramid
De Nieuwe Vincenten van Brabant talent program is really just the beginning of a larger development — at least, that’s what we hope. The teachers and artists are therefore doing their best to help you take the next steps after the program. Are you going to a high school that offers art classes? Are you planning to attend an art school or an art academy? We’d be happy to help you. Maybe in a few years, you’ll be the next Vincent van Gogh!
