As an art-loving member
De Haagse Kunstkring, opgericht in 1891, heeft een rijke geschiedenis als platform voor kunstenaars, schrijvers, dichters en musici. Zo waren Jozef Israëls, H.P. Berlage, Suze Robertson, Theo van Doesburg, Thérèse Schwartze, Gerrit Rietveld, Louis Couperus, Hella Haasse, Willem Mengelberg en nog vele anderen lid.
Since its founding, the HKK has been an incubator for creativity and innovation with a wide range of disciplines, including architecture, fine art, design, film, photography, literature, music, poetry and theater.
The association has always promoted cross-pollination between different art forms by organizing various events and manifestations.
Today, the HKK remains a vibrant center for art and culture in Paul van Vliet’s birthplace at 64 Denneweg.

A breeding ground for creativity
Meet visual artists, musicians, writers, poets, architects, theatre and film makers and actors and art-loving members with a passion for art and culture. The HKK offers a stimulating environment with exhibition spaces and stages for experimentation and innovation.
Cross pollination and innovation
The HKK has four departments: Visual Arts & Design and Architecture, Literature, Theatre & Film and Music.
Through this diversity the HKK promotes collaboration between different art forms. Crossover events, which cross disciplinary boundaries and open up new creative opportunities, are regularly organized.
‘De Bock’ Society and the community table
Our welcoming Society ‘De Bock’ is the perfect place to catch up with other members over drinks each month. A highlight is the monthly community table, where members can enjoy a delicious meal and engaging conversations with artists and art lovers.
