After more than 23 years at the Dutch Foundation for Literature, Bas Pauw’s carreer takes a new turn. From March onwards, he is seconded to the Performing Arts Fund NL in The Hague. Most of his duties at the Foundation for Literature will be taken over by Lucette Châtelain. In January, Juul Klein Wolterink has joined the communications team of the Foundation for Literature.
As business manager Bas Pauw was responsible for the successful Dutch-Flemish Guest of Honor program at the Frankfurt Bookfair in 2016. Recently, he organized large-scale campaigns for Dutch literature in France (Les Phares du Nord, 2018-2019) and in Great-Britain (New Dutch Writing, 2019-2020). Our colleague Lucette Châtelain was already actively involved in the organization of Phares du Nord, and will take over the coordination of New Dutch Writing, which had got off to an expeditious start in the fall of 2019.
At the Performing Arts Fund NL, Bas Pauw will commit himself to the promotion of Dutch music, theatre and dance abroad, and to the multiannual grants program. Together with his collegues Victor Schiferli en Ilonka Reintjens, Bas will yet be present at the Leipziger Buchmesse, where the Dutch Foundation for Literature will present a large program with eleven Dutch authors titled ‘Leipzig am Meer’.
