Newsletter | Autumn Edition 2026
Autumn brings new colours to Van Gogh Europe…
Autumn held a special fascination for Vincent van Gogh, inspiring him to capture the beauty of nature in transition. From the tree-lined avenues of Nuenen to the colourful landscapes of Arles, he was drawn to the season's rich shades of yellow, orange, and red. Paintings such as Avenue of Poplars in Autumn and The Alyscamps reflect his fascination with the changing landscape and his endless exploration of colour and light.
As the leaves begin to turn, autumn brings a renewed sense of inspiration and connection across the Van Gogh Europe network. From exciting exhibitions and new initiatives to shared ambitions and international collaborations, our partners continue to bring Vincent's legacy to life in inspiring ways.
This autumn, we're looking forward to bringing our network together for the Van Gogh Europe Seminar on 5 and 6 October 2026 in the Netherlands. Alongside inspiring partner updates and opportunities to exchange ideas, our working groups continue to strengthen cooperation across borders, with a particular focus on education, research, communication, and our shared European heritage.
Meanwhile, our partners are presenting a vibrant programme of exhibitions, events, and experiences across Europe, offering plenty of opportunities to discover, connect, and explore.

Newsletter | Summer Edition 2026
Summer is in full bloom at Van Gogh Europe…
Summer held a special significance for Vincent van Gogh, inspiring some of his most vivid and expressive works. During his time in Arles, he was captivated by the intensity of the southern sun, the golden wheatfields, and the long days filled with colour and light. Paintings such as Sunflowers, The Harvest, Summer Evening, and his sweeping landscapes reflect the warmth, abundance, and vitality of the season. For Van Gogh, summer was a time of artistic energy and emotional intensity—a season that fuelled both creativity and a deep connection to nature.
As we settle into the sunny months of June, July, and August, that same sense of energy and inspiration can be felt across the Van Gogh Europe network. From new partnerships and fresh ideas to exciting collaborations and upcoming gatherings, there is much happening throughout our community.
We’re preparing to welcome familiar and new faces at our next in-person Van Gogh Europe meeting on 5 and 6 October 2026, while working groups continue to develop innovative projects and strengthen connections across borders. Alongside updates from our partners, there are plenty of opportunities to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and build on our collective ambitions.
Meanwhile, our calendar continues to fill with events, exhibitions, and initiatives that celebrate Vincent’s legacy and bring our network together.
