A new feature has been published on the CODART website. Founded in 2017, the Center for Netherlandish Art at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts would have opened this fall, were it not for the intervention of COVID-19. It is now scheduled to open in fall 2021.

One-year anniversary

In October 2019, CODART launched its new publication platform CODARTfeatures. Every month this section of our website features an article by a CODART member. The past twelve features included several thought-provoking articles, such as Tom van der Molen’s The Problem of ‘the Golden Age’ and Looking in, Looking Out: Toward Diversity and Inclusion in the Field of Dutch and Flemish Art by Jessie Park, as well as the much-discussed COVID, Curators and Blockbuster Exhibitions in which three curators reflect on the effect that the current pandemic has on their museums. In addition, the features has ample room for curator’s projects, regional collections of Dutch and Flemish art, and interviews with curators.

We are interested to hear your thoughts about the features and invite you to share your experiences and ideas with us by sending an e-mail to features@codart.nl.
