HISTORY

Many students would like to have a clearer view on how to start their career. That’s why in 2019 First 5 Years started organizing events, located in Rotterdam art spaces. The basic idea: creative professionals talking about the start of their career and running their practice. Each edition three guest speakers showed their work, shared experiences and answered questions from the audience. From March 2020-2022 these events changed into 15 minutes online interviews, shot from home, obviously without any audience. After 2022, First 5 Years started running shows for a live audience within the environment of the WdKA again.
