The MELLYs: Crew After Party

After the awards, the real celebration begins

Become part of the crew for a night!

Join us for the Crew After Party, the official late-night chapter of The MELLYs: Kunstinstituut Melly’s brand-new awards celebration and benefit dinner.

The MELLYs honors the often-unseen contributors who keep the art world alive: the producers, documenters, craftspeople, and cultural visionaries who make creativity possible. Following the ceremony and dinner, we’re opening the doors for everyone who moves the cultural ecosystem: from artists and curators to art handlers, designers, and behind-the-scenes crew to come together and dance.

This isn’t your average after party. The night subverts office aesthetics and reimagines what it means to be convivial. You read that right, we’re turning Melly into a living, breathing dance floor, a place where art workers, artists, curators, and cultural dreamers gather to move, mingle as the night unfolds.

It’s the office after hours, wild and reborn inside the exhibition space.

Line-up:

DJ Jollyfish warming up the dancefloor
DJ Fatima Ferrari with deep, soulful grooves
DJ Lynnée Denise taking us higher and closing the night

Expect beats that blend art-world spirit with Rotterdam grit: a space where spreadsheets turn to dance sheets and strategy meetings become spontaneous collaborations.

Open to all MELLYs guests, the extended art crew and people from our community. Bring your friends, your muse, and your best dance moves.

Because after the awards, we celebrate the people who make the scene possible.
