Springboard’s design concept is developed by the renowned Tom Postma Design. Within their flexible framework artists and their coach develop their own presentation. From a  traditional solo booth to a curated group show or a wall-free area for sculptures: it is up to you! 

As artists determine what their exhibition presentation will look like, Springboard will not have the feeling of a conventional art fair, but a dynamic exhibition. Also, artists themselves decide on the content of their presentation.
