Foundation Van Gogh Village Nuenen lets all (inter)national visitors experience that the Nuenen period of Van Gogh is crucial, and therefore the most interesting period for his development as a human being as well as an artist. The heritage sites and our museum provide the unique feeling that nowhere in the world can visitors get closer to Van Gogh than in Nuenen.
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. In connection with the development and realization of the expansion of the Van Gogh Village Museum, the current period is essential for the longer-term functioning of the foundation. Continuity has been chosen for the current board period (policy plan 2019 - 2022). The retirement schedule (March 2020) takes this into account.
In the upcoming amendment of the statutes, the term of office will be capped in accordance with the guidelines of the Governance Code for Culture.
In the meantime, the process has started to search for new board members, and where possible, to join the board earlier than planned. Former board members may be appointed as advisors to retain their knowledge and expertise.
