Stakeholder's Meeting of the Lakma. | The First stake holders meeting of the LAKMA took place in the Cervantes Institute of Utrecht on the 17th of February. The purpose of the meeting was to exchange information with a targeted audience, bind our network of supporters, give access to emerging ideas and facilitate strategic thinking; as result, we raised stakeholder’s awareness and launched an enthusiastic network of supporters.
The news and invitation for this event spread rapidly and regardless of the holiday period and short notice we were overwhelmed with the attendance of nearly one hundred participants; amongst our visitors, we found supporters that traveled from Germany and Belgium to get acquainted with the initiative.
We had the honor of receiving the ambassadors of the Dominican Republic and Bolivia as well as diplomats from the embassies of Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Cuba, Colombia and Venezuela, along with prominent artist off all disciplines, cultural foundations as well as supporting organizations whom all voiced and conveyed their heart warmth felt enthusiasm for the LAKMA.

HOW YOU CAN HELP TO CREATE THE MUSEUM | Without its supporters, the Latin Art Museum of Amersfoort will just be a building with beautiful art inside rather than the living, breathing cultural exchange its destined to be. With help from friends like you, the LAKMA will play a vital role in the artistic life of the Netherlands, providing an environment that inspires active, life-long connection to the arts. There are a number of ways to get involved and make the Latin American Art Museum of Amersfoort your museum; so please, take the time to see how you can become a part of the project.
Initiating the first Latin American Art Museum of Europe in The Netherlands brings positive advantages for the LAKMA as well as interesting challenges, many of our processes and strategies have to be pioneered and created this is why we greatly depend on the advice and guidance from our members as well as the broad range of experts from our community.
