Delft

Since April 2019 I have renamed my gallery into ART Jacobs. People are most welcome to come and visit my gallery and watch over my shoulder while I'm working. Changing the name of the gallery was more than just another name. I want to focus on a higher level of quality paintings and the international name was chosen because nowadays almost half of my work is being sold abroad.

Since April 2007 I have combined Gallery and Studio in one: every day I'm painting in my shop window and people can watch over my shoulder while I paint. As from april 2014 the gallery will be renamed into ART Jacobs.

Delft, South Holland, Netherlands

I have organised the Museumnacht Delft between 2010 and 2017. In my current role for the Stichting Highlight Delft I'm trying to use that experience and network for the benefit of Highlight Delft. Highlight Delft uses the innovative city Delft as its platform to present installations on the nexus of art and technology.

As from the first of january 2019 I have ended my active role as an organizer of various events in Delft, such as the Museumnacht Delft, Night at the Museum for kids and High Light Delft. As a treasurer of the foundation I will remain involved in the long term strategy and financial course of these events.

Delft

Currently I'm involved in the organization of High Light and I am responsible for all financial activities, from the payments to our artists to keeping our budget up to date. High Light is Delft’s new art & technology festival. On Saturday November 17th, you’ll be able to see how technology impacts our society on eleven locations. High Light displays spectacular creations and discoveries, and will share with you the stories of its creators. Additionally, High Light will showcase a great music & debate program, as well as projects in which students and renowned designers and artists cooperate.

In 2017, after seven successful episodes, we have decided to stop the Museumnacht and change it into a Night at the Museum for kids. During this night a variety of exhibitions, workshops, music performers, dance, theater and art was offered to children and their parents. The theme was "scary". Our target audience was children between 4 and 12 years and their parents. The evening was immensely successful with over 6,000 visitors. In 2018 there will be another Night at the Museum for kids.

I have taken the initiative to organise the Museum night in Delft in 2009. The first Museumnight was organised in 2010. During this event all museums, theaters and all galleries are open and many cultural festivities are being organised, including a large Afterparty. The museumnight has been increasingly popular since 2010 and has influenced the cultural landscape in Delft significantly. Since the start in 2010 we have organized 7 consecutive Museumnights. However since the Army Museum was closed in 2015 and there was only one large museum left in Delft. We felt that this number was too small to properly organize a Museumnight. In 2018 we are aiming to organize another large cultural festival; High Light. The festival will be a cross over between art and technique.

For 12 years I have been working at P&O Nedlloyd. I have a broad financial experience, especially in the field of Management Accountancy. From 2000 onwards I have been working part time and I have painted part time.
