ABOUT WOBBY.CLUB

Mission
Wobby.club is the platform for autonomous illustration, visual art, and literature in the Netherlands. It organises the risoprinted magazine Wobby, the two-week residency To Riso or Not, the Wobby Workout residency, and many more projects. It is based in the studio complex NS16 in Tilburg, in the south of the Netherlands.

Wobby.club is a foundation, and retrieves its income from the distribution of its magazine, art prints, books, workshops and commissions, and is granted multi-annual support from Wobby’s hometown, the Municipality of Tilburg. We regularly collaborate with local and regional parties, such as De Pont museum, TextielMuseum, Kunstpodium T, Tilt, De Nachtzuster, Graphic Matters, MAKE Eindhoven, and TAC.

Wobby was originally found in 2015 by Jeroen de Leijer, Marjolein Schalk, and S.L. Trumpstein (Stephan de Weert), a group of artists rooted in the absurdist tradition in the Southern Netherlands. Nowadays the team consists of:

Board

Remuneration policy
Wobby.club actively promotes fair pay. The team consists of freelancers that are rewarded on the basis of the Guideline Job and Salary Structure for Visual Art Platforms. Wobby applies the rates of Dutch author’s rights organisation Pictoright to all contributors of the magazine. In other cases, artists are paid in line with the Residency Grant of the Dutch Mondrian Fund and the national Guideline for Artist’s Fees.
