About us

Het bestuur van Stichting Land Art Flevoland: v.l.n.r. Vincent de Boer, Demelza van der Maas en Suki de Boer

Nowhere else in the world will you find as much Land Art gathered in one place as in Flevoland. The Land Art Flevoland collection includes artworks by world-renowned artists such as Antony Gormley, Richard Serra, Daniel Libeskind and Marinus Boezem. The owners manage and maintain the artworks, while the Land Art Flevoland Foundation brings them to life through activities, increases their visibility, and addresses their status as special cultural heritage.

Land Art Flevoland is a small organisation that is dedicated to bringing the monumental landscape artworks in Flevoland to the attention of a broad public. This is done through the organisation of bus tours, self-initiated activities such as the Land Art Weekend and Land Art Live, the publication of a book that is distributed internationally, as well as cooperation with organisations and people - within Flevoland and beyond - who are sustainably involved in landscape art.

In addition to our public function, we are also focusing on strengthening the preservation of the collection by establishing partnerships between the owners of the artworks: five Flevoland municipalities and three nature organisations. To this end, we drew up a master plan in 2019, in which the restoration of the older artworks is coupled with improved public facilities for the entire collection. In cooperation with the Province of Flevoland and the Cultural Heritage Agency, this plan is currently being elaborated further.

Land Art Flevoland's office is in De Voetnoot in Almere. Land Art Flevoland is structurally supported by the Province of Flevoland and on a project basis by funds such as the Mondriaan Fund, the VSB Fund, Fonds21 and the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds Flevoland.
