The Madness & Arts Festival (MAF) is an international and interdisciplinary festival on arts and madness, to be held in Haarlem, the Netherlands in 2010. You are kindly invited to submit your projects for consideration of the programme committee. The MAF is specifically looking for music, theatre and dance performances for the festival venues and smaller events/performances/presentations for the festival camp. What = MAF The Madness & Arts Festival (MAF) is a reoccurring international and interdisciplinary manifestation about art and madness, which will be held in Haarlem, the Netherlands in 2010, after Toronto, Canada (2003) and Münster, Germany (2006). The festival focuses on the interaction between art and madness, through presentation of high quality art with an international appeal. MAF gives stage to different perspectives from people with and without a psychiatric background, artists, scientists and the public. With an ambitious and inspiring programme of nationally and internationally renowned artists and projects, MAF aims to bridge the gap between art and its traditional audience, and various aspects of psychiatry. MAF will be a compact, high quality festival with international appeal. MAF will take place from September 24th until October 3rd, 2010. Who = MAF MAF is organised by The Madness & Arts Foundation, artistic director Meta Knol, and by festival bureau Deneuve Cultural Projects, in close cooperation with the art institutes of Haarlem. Equally important is the partnership with various Dutch organisations for mental health care (GGZ InGeest, Roads, RIBW K/AM). With MAF the City of Haarlem will promote itself as a city with a well-developed infrastructure for both culture and mental health care. The City of Haarlem earlier adopted the regional cultural festival Kwartiermakersfestival, that aimed to improve the public perception of psychiatry (2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006).
