Team
SYB is run by a free-lance director and coordinator and a group of volunteers. The programming committee (PC, formerly ARTclub) of Kunsthuis SYB, together with the general manager, forms the artistic core of the organization. The PC consists of four to six young artists, curators and art theoreticians, who get the chance to develop as a curator within SYB. The members of the SYB Circles (writer’s programme) are also young professionals. SYB’s employees come from all over the Netherlands and sometimes from abroad. A group of volunteers in Beetsterzwaag takes care of the practical support of the residency.
