ZomerSalon Royaal 2025

Wanneer: 12 july 2025 - 23 august 2025

Kunstenaars

Amsterdam 750 years is the theme of the upcoming edition of Zomersalon Royaal! This year, the exhibition will run from July 12 to August 23. You can register using the online form at the bottom of this page.

As with every year, anyone can participate in the ZomerSalon Royaal, whether you are a professional artist or trying something for the first time. The exhibition is dedicated to Amsterdam’s jubilee year. Anything related to our capital city can serve as a source of inspiration for the work.

You can, for example, draw from the city’s richness, its colonial past, high-profile social events, the handling of diversity throughout the centuries, the struggle against (sea) water, or the way the city has been depicted in the visual arts or celebrated in song by many.

Submitted work must fit the theme and have been created in 2024 – 2025.

Participate and surprise us!

Here are some important dates:

Registration for participation is open until May 31, 2025, via the online form below.

Submission of work is possible from June 3 to June 14, 2025

Opening: Saturday, July 12, 2025, 1:00 PM

Finissage: Saturday, August 23, 2025, 1:00 PM

    Participant details

    - Every artist can participate with 1 work, maximum dimensions 120 x 120 cm.

    - The work must be equipped with a proper hanging system and frame, or the creator must give explicit permission to use pins/nails. If damage occurs to other artworks because the hanging system – or the frame – is found to be inadequate during the exhibition, the creator is responsible for the damage caused.

    - Upon delivery, the artist must unpack the work THEMSELVES and inspect it with a CBK Zuidoost employee for any damage. This also applies when collecting the work. If the artist does not inspect the work themselves upon delivery and collection, CBK Zuidoost is not liable for any damage discovered later.

    - The work must fit the theme; work that does not fit the theme will not be accepted.

    - Please upload the image in PNG or JPG format with a maximum size of 20 MB.

    - The work exhibited during the Summer Salon can – if you wish – be purchased by interested parties.

    - Sales are handled by CBK Zuidoost; the gallery arrangement will then be applied. This means that approximately 44% of the desired sales price (40% commission + 21% VAT on that commission) goes to CBK Zuidoost.

    - Please take into account the amount you would like to receive yourself in the event of a sale!

    - Every artist can participate with only one piece, measurements max 120 x 120 cm.

    - The work must be equipped with a proper hanging system, or the maker must give explicit permission to pierce the work with pins. If damage occurs to other works of art because the hanging system - or frame - is found to be dysfunctional during the exhibition, the creator is responsible for the damage done.

    - Upon delivery, the artist must unpack the work IN PERSON and inspect it with a CBK Zuidoost employee for any damage. This also applies when collecting the work. If the artist does not inspect the work in person upon delivery and collection, CBK Zuidoost is not liable for any damage found later.

    - If the work does not meet the conditions, or has no demonstrable connection to the theme, CBK Zuidoost will refuse the work.

    - Please upload the image in PNG or JPG with a maximum size of 20 MB.

    - The work exhibited during the summer fair can - if you wish - be purchased by interested parties.
