Curated exhibitions, public programmes, and collaborations that position equine art within the contemporary cultural conversation.

Curatorial Highlights

Dutch Equine Art Fair

The Living Horse Museum in Amsterdam initiated the Dutch Equine Art Fair to give equine art a larger, contemporary stage. Rooted in the museum’s mission to preserve and share the cultural heritage of the horse, the four-day event presents more than 30 international artists in its historic setting. Commissioned by the Living Horse Museum, the fair is curated and organised by Joyce Ter Horst, reflecting the museum’s vision to establish the event as a landmark for equine art in Europe.
