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 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 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.
We are proudly supported by our founding patron HRH Princess Mabel van Oranje-Nassau, who together with her late husband HRH Prince Friso, was a co-founder of the initiative with the patronage of HE The Ambassador of The Kingdom of the Netherlands to the Court of St James’s. The current ambassador, Karel J.G. van Oosterom, continues this patronage for the foundation.
