‘We should celebrate and cherish Amsterdam’s creativity, diversity, and identity, because a rich and diverse cultural climate is a prerequisite for a healthy city in the future,’ say the founders of GLUE. GLUE is honouring three creative ‘honorary’ citizens with the title of Creative Citizen of Honour every year. In 2021 the honour went to Maria Blaisse, Geke Lensink, Lyongo Juliana and Egbert Fransen, in 2022 it were designers Mina Abouzahra, Nikki Gonnissen and Thomas Widdershoven, and cultural entrepreneur Suzanne Oxenaar, and in 2023 it went to founder and director of OSCAM Marian Duff, founder of Moving Arts Project Janine Toussaint, and founder of Studio Valkenier Wouter Valkenier. And in 2024 it were the gallery owners Pien Rademakers, Mia Karlova and designer Marcel Wanders. The Honourable creative citizen of the next edition will be communicated in May 2025. These creatives are being spotlighted because they provide a podium for creativity in the city or encourage its development. They know how to reflect, convey, connect, and enrich the colourfulness, creativity, and diversity of the city of Amsterdam.
