Everyone can participate in art and culture. That is the mission of VRIJDAG, the house of amateur arts in Groningen.

About us
At VRIJDAG, we believe that everyone should have access to art and culture. As the home of amateur arts in Groningen, we offer workshops, courses, and lessons in music, theater, and visual arts across the municipality.
Also, through VRIJDAG Onderwijs, we also provide cultural education both during and after school hours. And our culture coaches from VRIJDAG in de Buurt bring art and culture to neighborhoods across the city, while our Open Studios offer accessible spaces where young people can develop creatively, personally, and socially.
With KultuurLoket, we support amateur arts throughout the province with advice and resources, and through POPgroningen, we promote and stimulate local pop music talent.
We’re here for everyone, including you!
