Are you between 14 and 21 years old and do you love art and culture? Have you always wondered what happens behind the scenes at a cultural institute? Are you considering a degree in museum education, art, communication, or event management? Do you want to work on your own production with the help of a small team? Then Extended is looking for you!
Marres and the Jan van Eyck Academie (JvE) collaborate on the educational program Extended. Extended is the youth department of Marres, House for Contemporary Culture and Jan van Eyck Academie. Here you can spend four months as a production volunteer helping your peers use and experience their senses in a different way.
Under professional guidance, you will research contemporary culture and translate your results into a show that will be performed at schools and for the general public. You will be trained by professionals from different disciplines, such as curators, scientists, artists, and communication experts. You will learn the ins and outs of the cultural sector from different perspectives and use your experience from Extended to become a junior cultural assistant.

Marres Extended is being coached by Anneke Haane.
