At last, an Awful Opening! After months of construction and clean up, Awful Atelier is ready to be seen! We will be opening our doors to the public for the first time on Saturday the 30th of September between 19:00 and 22:00.
Atelier Awful is a creative space located in Amsterdam’s Dappermarkt.
A collaboration between Shannon E. Thomas and Hans Gerwitz, Atelier Awful is a cabinet of curiosities ranging from the visual to the edible. We seek to create and curate events and experiences that bring together old and new, sometimes in contrast and others in harmony.
Aside from published exhibition times, Awful is open by appointment only. Want an invite to our happenings? Join our mailing list.
