No Limits! Art Castle
No Limits! Art Castle is the first art space in the Netherlands that stands for an art world without borders. No boundaries between so-called ‘outsider’ artists and the rest of the art world, not between art and design, not between day and night culture or fantasy and reality. Here you can view and buy art. And besides, it is a castle.
The area is part of Sexyland World, located at the river IJ in Amsterdam Noord. You can walk in from Wednesday to Sunday. No Limits! No Limits! Art Castle is open until midnight on weekends. There is always a host who can tell you more about the background of the art and the makers.
Streetwear by Outsider and Insider Artists
Outsider artists tend to be a little bit different. They often operate outside of the mainstream art world. Sometimes they face mental or physical disabilities,homelessness or vulnerability. Outsiderwear is a new collaborative project combining talented outsider artists with a range of fashion designers and creatives, both emerging and established. The result of these experimental collaborations will be shown and sold during the multidisciplinary Outsiderwear Festival, running in the summer of 2021 in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Nijmegen.
Outsiderwear is an initiative of artist Jan Hoek and Foundation Captain Hoek, in collaboration with Foundation M-ODE and Outsider Art Galerie.

Sistaaz of the Castle
This project is the product of an ongoing collaboration between fashion designer Duran Lantink, trans sex worker organization SistaazHood and myself. The Sistaaz are fierce activists, proud to be trans, proud to be sex workers, and even prouder of their stunning sense of style. And they want it to be acknowledged. Most of the girls are homeless, living under a bridge near Cape Town’s (South Africa) Castle of Good Hope.
Mental Superpowers
Lady Gaga, Diane Arbus, Vincent van Gogh, Kurt Cobain – the list of creative geniuses with mental health issues is long and well known. But how do the two relate to one another? Can an mental illness also be seen as a superpower? To answer this question Jan Hoek spent three months living in a psychiatric hospital in Brooklyn, collaborating with the hospital's clients and other unique individuals he met in New York. A comic book and different exhibitions (in psychiatric hospitals for example) are the result.
