NEON is an arts and culture foundation located in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. We bring art to the people by organizing exhibitions in unconventional spaces. Our passion lies in organizing events that will facilitate the dialog between the creatives and their public in a visually engaging environment. The location and characteristics of the space inspire the exhibition concept,  theme and curatorial process. We select the work of contemporary artists and offer them a unique platform to showcase it.

​

NEON Foundation is supervised by the board of directors; Andreas Kunstein, Karin Oppelland and Dejan Mladenovic.

​

All projects are curated and organized by the creative director Vladimir Radujkov.
