  • Current Programme: Brutus

Break through your daily thinking.

Look at art.

Complex challenges and transitions call for a regular flow of inspiration: to question the status quo, get rid of entrenched patterns, and incite you to take action. It’s all too easy to get caught up in everyday hype and get stuck on procedures. Brutus is the ultimate venue for discovering just what you can learn from artists in order to make an impact within the systems. Artists are better equipped than anyone to navigate and overcome barriers through creativity.

Transform your thinking and channel your inner artist.

This leading Rotterdam creative sanctuary does not abide by any one system: artists are given full creative freedom. It’s a venue where artists create and exhibit art, always with exciting results. These range from a sculpture garden filled with original, world-class artworks and life-size installations to constantly changing exhibitions, along with fresh new work by young, emerging talent.

These artworks invite you to let go of existing beliefs and discover new worlds, and you will be given practical tools to boost your creativity.

At Brutus, your team of artists will teach you to:

  • Break through barriers and explore radically different perspectives
  • Gain courage and work to make big dreams happen
  • Navigate existing systems using creative methods

Practical details:

  • Brutus in Rotterdam
  • There is a permanent collection, featuring work by creators such as Atelier van Lieshout
  • Constantly changing exhibitions

About Brutus

Brutus is Rotterdam’s cultural magnet. This place on the edge of the harbour turns your thinking completely upside down. Complicated? Not at all at Brutus. Their motto is: everyone is an insider. That’s exactly why we at AIM AT ART are so enthusiastic. And even more so because artists are given full freedom to experiment and innovate. Don’t expect polished white walls, but industrial spaces full of surprises. It’s no coincidence that Brutus is often described as an artist-driven playground.

“Under the inspiring guidance of AIM AT ART, we set our sights on the future and a metamorphosis was initiated from follower to pioneer. In adventurous places and with the power of art, we grew our connection, internalised our ambition and strengthened our mindset. AIM AT ART’s approach helped us zoom out and really reflect in a different way. This process took us to the next level both as individuals and as a team!”

- Paula Marconi, Chief Marketing Officer Continental Europe Kraft Heinz Company

AIM AT ART is on a research sabbatical until March 2027

After 17 years, we’re stepping into a five-month playground for our own soul. From October 2026, there will be no programmes —just a research sabbatical.

Art is more relevant than ever in these times, and we’ll be exploring how AIM AT ART can play a part in this.

We’ll return in March 2027 with stimulating programmes, full of fresh ideas and a richer vision of art’s role in driving change.
