Projects supported in 2007/2008

The Netherlands China Arts Foundation received an assignment of the Dutch ministries of Culture and Foreign Affairs to invest in cultural relations between China and the Netherlands. Since then, it has supported a broad range of projects in both China and the Netherlands. The main focus is on projects in China, covering a broad range of cultural disciplines, from modern dance, music, heritage, puppet theatre, documentaries, to visual arts and design.
