The Boekman Foundation Institute for arts, culture and related policy ( Dutch: Boekmanstichting Kenniscentrum voor kunst, cultuur en beleid) is a research institute for Dutch arts and culture policy and practice. [1] It was named after the Amsterdam SDAP politician and alderman Emanuel Boekman (1889–1940), who promoted public support for art and culture in his PhD thesis of 1939. [2]
The Boekman Foundation was established in 1963 by Dutch cultural philosopher Jan Kassies ( nl) and compiles and analyses statistical and other data on art and culture in the Netherlands for policy purposes. Its main periodical publications are the quarterly Boekman cultural magazine since 2003 [3] and the annual national review report Culture Monitor (Cultuurmonitor) with an online dashboard resource. The Foundation hosts a free expertise database and library Kennisbank on art, culture and related policy with 85,000 titles in 2024. [1]
Since 2009, the Boekmanstichting and NWO Geesteswetenschappen ( Dutch Research Council NWO, department of Humanities) award the triennial Boekman Dissertation Prize of €10.000 for the best Dutch PhD thesis on art, culture and society. The year following the award the Boekman journal devotes one of its editions to the winning dissertation. [4]
