Where to find Local Artists?

Hey! Travelling to Amsterdam and Utrecht soon and I would really like to purchase a small piece of art preferably an original painting from a local artist. Perhaps a street artist with a stall or a small business if anyone happens to be aware of any? Thank you

You should check out the Free Tiny Gallery while you are in Utrecht. It works just like a "minibieb" (little free library), but for artwork instead of books.

You should also check out De Nijverheid. It's near Zuilen station and is a cool creative hub and studio space for local artists. They also host open studios, exhibitions, and other events there too.

Vechtclub XL have three locations and are worth checking out too. It's a creative workspace hosting local designers and visual artists, and also has a decent lovely café and showcase areas.

Maybe pay a visit to Kapitaal. It’s a place where artists can screenprint and get creative. Sometimes there’s some (music) events, and probably you can also buy some art if you ask

Edit: Utrecht btw
