Sklin Club was born in 2015 from a simple yet powerful idea: to create a space where musicians and artists across the Netherlands could connect, collaborate, and grow together. What began as informal meetups among friends in Amsterdam has evolved into a nationwide community of creative individuals who support and inspire each other.
Our name, "Sklin," comes from the Dutch word "schitteren" (to shine) and the English word "link," representing our mission to help creative talents shine by linking them with the right collaborators, mentors, and opportunities.
Today, Sklin Club hosts regular events, workshops, and performances across the country, creating a supportive ecosystem for artists at all stages of their careers. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just beginning your creative journey, our community welcomes you with open arms.
To foster a vibrant, supportive community that empowers musicians and artists to develop their craft, find meaningful collaborations, and build sustainable creative careers in the Netherlands.
