​Stichting Sonsbeek & State of Fashion organises two iconic events in Arnhem and Gelderland, Sonsbeek for visual art and State of Fashion for fashion, both taking place once every four years. 

SONSBEEK'16 | transACTION, curated by the Indonesian curatorial collective ruangrupa, was recently presented to great public acclaim. From 1 June 2018 the first State of Fashion, the successor to the Arnhem Fashion Biennale, will take place under the curatorship of José Teunissen. Title of this edition is State of Fashion 2018 | Searching for the New Luxury. 

These two major cultural events enhance the international reputation of Arnhem and Gelderland as a creative, innovative and green city and region, stimulate local knowledge and international collaboration, and strengthen the regional infrastructure for creativity and innovation. 

The foundation works with a fixed small core organisation and for each event with changing curators and project organisations for fashion and art. Christine de Baan is the general director of the foundation.
