Art Policy

NN Group aims to make art more accessible for people of all ages and backgrounds, with a focus on the cities where NN Group operates (notably, Rotterdam and The Hague). We value the role of art and culture in society, as we believe art inspires and connectsAs such, NN Group invests in cultural partnerships with Dutch museums and artists. This is reflected by our support of museum exhibitions that appeal to wide audiences, encouraging cultural entrepreneurship and generating art commissions for NN's own collection. Experimentation, research and innovation are the art collection's criteria, with a focus on artists who have a connection with the Netherlands. In addition, the NN Group Art Award, an incentive prize connected to the Art Rotterdam art fair, has been awarded annually since 2017. Both new talent and mid-career artists are eligible for this prize of EUR 10,000. NN Group also purchases artworks by the nominees for the NN Group Art Collection.

History

NN Group has a corporate art collection that includes over 2,000 art works which are on display throughout NN's office buildings. Prior to the establishment of NN Group as a standalone company, Nationale-Nederlanden accumulated a diverse art collection starting from 1963. The art collection has changed over time reflecting changes within the company, for example after the take-over of RVS in 1984 and the merger with the NMB Postbank Group, resulting in ING Group in 1991. After separating from ING, NN Group became a standalone company again in 2014, adopting a new brand and a renewed art policy.

Focus of collection
The focus of the collection is on works by artists who have a strong connection to the Netherlands. The criteria of the collection are: experimentation, research, and innovation. Within the NN corporate art collection this is recognisable in works that show special skills and experienced craftsmanship from artists who dare to experiment with materials and use innovative angles to look at the world around us. Every year we present the NN Group Art Award to a contemporary artist during the Art Rotterdam art fair.

Exposition space

In the NN DE Café in Rotterdam (next to central station) an 18 meter long image wall is offered to Dutch artistic talent and museums. We also look for a link with cultural activities in the city of Rotterdam in our programming for this location. For example, NN Group is partner of het Nederlands Fotomuseum and De Kunsthal, both located in Rotterdam. The photo wall presentations change on a quarterly basis.
