Galerie Fons Welters opened its doors in 1988 in a former garage in Amsterdam's Jordaan area. Since, the gallery has established itself nationally and internationally as a place for emerging contemporary artists, often with a particular focus on installation art and sculptural approaches. Throughout the years, the gallery has represented different generations of artists, but always by starting to work with each one of them in an early and precious moment of their careers. This position is enhanced by the project space the gallery opened in 2000 in its front space.
