About Us
The Dutch Masters Foundation
The Dutch Masters Foundation brings together Dutch Art lovers in the UK to support three wonderful Dutch Art Institutions, the Mauritshuis, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Nederlands Dans Theater (the Masters).
Through a series of events they share their unique talents, whilst our charity supports their educational programmes and exhibitions through grants.
The Dutch Masters Foundation was founded in 2011 with the specific purpose of supporting the advancement of arts in The Netherlands and throughout the world. It has succeeded in bringing together philanthropic Dutch art lovers with links to the UK (both private individuals and businesses) whose donations sponsor the unique artistic collaboration between three iconic Dutch artistic institutions - The Mauritshuis, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Nederlands Dans Theater.
Donors are treated each year to a number of unique events hosted by these wonderful institutions; and their funds provide essential support to their educational programmes and exhibitions.
