Mission
To preserve, open up and let people experience the life story and cultural heritage of Vincent van Gogh in Nuenen, as a source of inspiration for (inter)national visitors of all ages.
Vision
Van Gogh Village Nuenen wants (inter)national recognition and acknowledgement of the importance of the Nuenen period of Van Gogh. By literally following in his footsteps, more and more visitors experience that they cannot get any closer to Van Gogh, the foundation contributes to an improvement of the leisure economy in Brabant and the tangibility of Van Gogh inspires the creativity of the manufacturing and knowledge industry in the Brainport region of Southeast Brabant.
Strategy
For the coming years, our focal points are:
Organization with volunteers
The foundation Van Gogh Village Nuenen is a large organization in which about 200 volunteers are active. All are people, who take great pleasure in their work, like to share their knowledge, want to be of significance and of course show the famous Brabant hospitality. Their respect for Vincent van Gogh is paramount.
*Board members are volunteers and unpaid. Outside positions.
Board members have joined based on their competencies and qualities, forming an appropriate mix within the board. Some board members have now reached the maximum term of office. Due to the realization of the expansion of the Van Gogh Village Museum (open May 2023), continuity was chosen for the current board term.
The amendment to the bylaws (March 2023) capped the term of office in accordance with the guidelines of the Governance Code of Culture. In June 2023, the process began to seek new board members. Changes are anticipated in 2024.
