Introduction
Art professionals and art organisations in the Netherlands and Belgium have a unique opportunity to co-host a reading group. Each session, lasting between one and one-and-a-half hours, takes place physically in the Netherlands or a nearby country. Participants can also join online from anywhere in the world.
