Where
SEA Foundation has its home base in the city of Tilburg a bustling town in the south of the Netherlands. An Artist in Residence, a gallery-project space, plus a 4-star Bed and Breakfast are housed in a four-story Amsterdam School style building.

Tilburg
Tilburg once was the wool capital of the Netherlands. In 1881 there were as many as 145 wool mills. In the 1960s the industry collapsed and by the 1980s the number of wool mills could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Present day Tilburg is a lively city with a rich interdisciplinary cultural climate. Museum de Pont for contemporary art, the Textile Museum with its labs, and the Nature Museum are in close proximity, as are the cinema’s, theatres, and live music venues. The European Ceramics Work Centre (EKWC) is just a short bike ride away. Tilburg boasts a unique dance and music quarter and is home one of the best universities in the Netherlands.
