Who was Anton Heyboer really? Was he an outsider who did not fit into society, a media genius with eccentric but harmless behaviour, or perhaps a brilliant artist struggling with the demons in his head? In a fascinating lecture, Heyboer expert Ruud Lapré will take you through Heyboer's fascinating life and explore why we can consider Heyboer a 'genius outsider'.

Who would you thank with a clay sculpture? Come to the workshop and, just like Anton, get your hands dirty and sculpt your favorite animal.

How did the lives of Lotti and Anton Heyboer become intertwined? What attracted her to start a new life dedicated to the artist in Den Ilp, surrounded by chickens, art and scrap wood? In a conversation with Marieke Uildriks, director of Museum JAN, Lotti talks about her enervating life.

Where would you like to live? In a tree house, on the moon, or in a big boat? Artist Anton Heyboer made his own home out of an old cowshed. He photographed this self-made house and made collages of it using photos, paint and ink. Like Anton, cut, paste and draw your fantasy house and turn your story into a work of art!

Gijs Stigter and Nick van der Woude know each other from the Amsterdam-based collective Klezmagic, with which they have been bringing color to the streets of Amsterdam for years.

Turn your gift into a true work of art by wrapping it with fabric using the traditional Japanese knotting and wrapping technique called Furoshiki. Presenting gifts is an important part of Japanese culture which is done with attention and care. And reusable textiles are also sustainable! The workshop is given by Japanese ladies from the 'Japan Women's Club'. You will work with authentic Japanese fabrics, one of which you will be allowed to keep. Please bring your own two books and two wine bottles!

Be inspired by internationally renowned artist Tjalf Sparnaay, master of hyperrealism. His paintings of food look just like the real thing, making your mouth water.

In this workshop, you will learn to look very closely at food so that you can paint it as realistic as possible in the JAN JUNIOR studio.
