HMK has moved all offices and meetingrooms to the previously vacant spaces of the MariaChapel (the former bar + cinema). HMK can now use the entire Maria Chapel, instead of just the exhibitionspace, for our organisation, meetings and production, and (eventually) for our guesthouse.
Our new office address is: Korte Achterstraat 2a. 1621 GA, Hoorn.

Lugar a Dudas in Cali, Colombia
HMK first 'eloped' in 2009 with Art Bakery, an artistiniative from Cameroon. The aim of Elopement is to dive into eachothers cultural environment, to exchange ideas, concepts and inspiration and to further broaden the participants perspective on both artworlds. With Elopement, HMK and LAD hope to create a breeding ground for fruitful collaborations, new artistic research and a lively discourse.
