^{Galleries
Rotterdam is on the world map when it comes to art. All shapes and sizes. Many beginning artists from around the world come to Rotterdam to try there luck (and/or talent) in the particularly developed scene. The local municipality really support art and culture events, which make Rotterdam a nest for inspiring artists. That of course, makes it great for the community (and art lovers) as well and not just the artists themselves. That way you always know that there is something going on in the city. It doesn’t take that much of a walk to discover amazing galleries with fresh art to see (and buy) just take a walk around; there are plenty in the city center.
Witte de Withsraat: this whole street is a hub for art lovers. Along the short street you will see plenty of small private galleries with modern and classic items alike. Particularly recommended are the: ‘MaMa’ - (showroom for media and moving art) which is more a culture and visual arts organization then a gallery. But it mostly holds interesting projects. Right on the center of the street, you cant miss it.}

^{‘Tent’ – showing local talents; something between a museum and a gallery (you might need to pay a small fee to enter) they describe themselves as a workshop where processes are examined and a marketplace where people can come and meet. On the first Thursday of every month a multi-event with live performances is organized. And every 3rd Thursday there is a video night.
‘RoodKapje’ – a contemporary, ground-breaking and original gallery; Part art part fashion. This place tries to invest in young talent believing that it is the way to have them further develop there talent. Pushing to experiment.}

^{'CBK' - Centruum Beeldende Kunst (nieuw binnenweg 75): one of the largest galleries in Rotterdam, has a really amazing open space. Serves almost like a 24hour gallery because of 2 huge video screens hanging in the windows and has video art playing all night. Mostly contemporary and paintings.}
