With detours and shortcuts, off the beaten track and in an unconventional way, the bachelor and master students of Minerva Art Academy (Hanze UAS) have completed their studies in recent years. They are now graduating and will be showing their work from June 19 to 24 in an extensive exhibition on the site of the Former Sugar Factory in Groningen. From the outdoor spaces to the ballroom, the industrial setting of the old factory is used to showcase the most diverse art practices. With 175 graduated autonomous artists, designers and art teachers, DETOUR shows the great scope and impact of art.
In collaboration with NP3, the master students of the Frank Mohr Institute (FMI) show their work on the factory terrain in both the large factory building and at the neighboring MOBi (location of NP3). With this exhibition, the Masters Painting and MADtech conclude their two-year research by presenting their graduation works to the public.
Book a time slot
The exhibition is divided into three areas: (1) Sugar Factory Ground Floor, (2) Sugar Factory 1st floor and (3) NP3 | MOBi. It is possible to reserve a time slot of 1.5 hours for each area. You can visit this part of the exhibition within this time slot. Do you also want to visit another part? Then you reserve a second (or even third) time slot here.
