For three days De Wereld van de Witte de With brings you international and national modern art. The emphasis lies on art in public spaces by young and cutting edge artists from Europe and Rotterdam. Next to visual arts the festival provides a stage for theatre, fashion, dance, music, film and photography. Traditionally more than 30 institutions open up their doors to show what they have to offer.

Together with Lukas Feireiss the Loodsen Foundation programs a collection of expetional visual art. On and around de Witte de Withstreet several (inter)national artists use the public space and change it into a magnificant world where the city is finished and just exists to enjoy.

Most elements are free to visit unless it is mentioned otherwise.
Most programme elements happen continiously. If hours deviate you can find the updated hours at the programme elements on the website or in the booklet.
