The need for well-founded knowledge on patronage is great – not only among artists, cultural institutions, benefactors, policymakers and the media, but also among the growing group of students graduating each year on this topic. Therefore, this research repository offers a wide range of published research by scholars affiliated with Dutch and Flemish universities, and by master students graduating from these universities. New research is continuously added to the platform. You can search in various ways: via a search bar in the left-hand column, via text type, access, subject, author and language.
