THE GATHERISTS
The Gatherists organizes intimate get togethers for like-minded creatives & entrepreneurs, hosted by Marieke Verdenius and friends. It was initiated with the idea of bringing creative people together in a casual way over coffee and cake. Working as freelance creatives, we — Margot van der Krogt & Marieke Verdenius — felt like we missed an opportunity to meet the many people whose work we had seen, read about and admired online and off. While social media channels like Instagram are great sources of inspiration (we, too, met via the app) nothing can compare to face-to-face interactions.What started in June 2017 in Amsterdam with a small group of our friends has now grown into a small community of likeminded creatives. We usually meet monthly at Marieke’s atelier in small gatherings of 10 to 12 people to share what we’re working on and even struggling with, and hopefully inspire one another. There’s no program, hidden agenda or end goal. In November 2022 we mark our 35th edition and we look forward to organise many more.
Since 2019 Marieke Verdenius solely hosts The Gatherists, inviting creative-minded friends to co-host the get togethers with her in Amsterdam or elsewhere in The Netherlands and sometimes even abroad. We aim to become a platform for the creation of new connections and eventually new ideas, collaborations, projects or even friendships. Because sometimes all you need to fuel your passion is a lovely conversation and a slice of homemade apple pie.
