We are proud that our brand new alums are represented in the Best of Graduates 2024, the seventeenth edition of the annual exhibition at Galerie Ron Mandos. Best of Graduates gives a platform to recently graduated talents from art academies in the Netherlands and introduces them to the world of galleries, collectors and curators.

About the poster
As is tradition, the winner of the previous year’s RM Public Choice Award has designed this year’s Best of Graduates poster. Last year, Fanja Bouts was chosen by the public as their favorite artist from the Best of Graduates 2023. A visual artist specialising in installation and illustration, Fanja’s work explores the contrast between the playful and the absurdly serious, creating chaotic scenes with non-linear narratives.
