YOUR CONTRIBUTION & tax benefit

Join us as a YS member starting at € 300 a year. You are also welcome to top up your contribution. The range of benefits remains the same. Join YS for five years and your membership is partly tax-deductible. Your periodical contribution is 125% deductible from your taxable income. You do still pay your annual contribution.

Your membership provides vital support to the Stedelijk Museum’s special projects. Each year, we announce the acquisition of a work of art purchased for our collection thanks to the support of Young Stedelijk. Thanks in part to the annual contributions of Young Stedelijk members, the Stedelijk was able to purchase the works The Fans of Raw Color and Untitled (De Appel 1) & Untitled (De Appel 3) by Steffani Jemison in 2020. Important purchases for the Stedelijk collection!

ARTIST or student?

Are you an artist or student and want to join Young Stedelijk? Send an email to youngstedelijk@stedelijk.nl for information about the special rate.

Thanks in part to the annual contributions of Young Stedelijk members, the Stedelijk was able to purchase the work To Teach or to Assume Authority in 2021
