Arti et Amicitiae, Art society at Rokin, Netherlands
Arti et Amicitiae is an artist society in a neoclassical building on Amsterdam's Rokin. The structure provides exhibition spaces and private meeting areas designed by architect Berlage.
The society was founded in 1839 after French occupation dissolved painter guilds, with support from King William II. It helped restore artistic structures in the city.
The organization maintains an exhibition program that combines traditional and experimental visual arts while connecting local and international artists.
Access depends on membership, with members receiving consultation hours and support for grant applications. The building sits centrally on the Rokin and is easy to reach.
The building merges two separate structures into one unified facade while housing both historical and contemporary art collections. This architectural blend makes it a distinctive presence on the street.
