Welcome to Hotel Maria Kapel
Hotel Maria Kapel (HMK) is an artist-in-residence, exhibition space and cinema for contemporary visual art in the city centre of Hoorn. Hotel Maria Kapel was built as a chapel belonging to a 16th-century monastery.
HMK is a non-profit organization that aims to assist young as well as more established artists from all over the world in the production of new work and promote exchanges between national and international artists, cultural institutions and the public.
Current resident:

2025 Program
’Whispers of resistance’
In a time when crises and polarization are driving us further apart, HMK opts for a counter-movement: a year where softness takes center stage as a way to examine societal urgencies. The program builds on previous residencies, where themes such as slowing down, translation, and healing were explored. This year, HMK focuses on how softness can be a powerful tool in times of tension.
Hotel Maria Kapel (HMK) is proud to present the selected artists for the 2025 program Whispers of Resistance, A Year of Softness: Yin Yin Wong, Caleb Witvoet, Finn Anton Maätita, Ribka M. Pattinama Coleman & Jerrold Eliano Saija, Skye Maule-O’Brien & Mirjam Linschooten, and Leonie Brandner.
