A sixteen-day Art & Design event at which talented graduating MBO and HBO students and professionals in art and design showed their work. For more than two weeks, spread over various locations in Zwolle, there were exhibitions, workshops, lectures and other festivities. In addition, on 24 and 25 June the PROTO knowledge Festival will take place in the Spoorzone Zwolle; a real own knowledge festival with an inspiring programme on ICT/e-commerce, manufacturing, creative industry, climate adaptation and smart-sustainable living. With Perron038 as inspiring event location.
In 2021, Perron038 already hosted the PROTO Art & Design festival and it tasted like more. This year, the event was extended with a Knowledge Festival and an Open Day in the railway zone of Zwolle. For two days, hundreds of companies and residents from the region visited the grounds of Perron038. With a programme for everyone. In addition to our event spaces, the courtyard of Perron038 was transformed into a festival area. A beautiful location where, besides the knowledge festival, also Hooked Festival, Landstede Fashion Forward Modeshow and a team-event of our founding partner Tembo.
