'''de Appel''' is a contemporary arts centre, located in Amsterdam. Since it was founded in 1975 by {{illm|Wies Smals|nl}}, the goal of de Appel is to function as a stage for research and presentation of visual arts. Exhibitions, publications and discursive events are the main activities of de Appel.{{Cn|date=October 2023}}
In 1994, Saskia Bos established an intensive course, called 'The Curatorial Programme'.<ref>[http://www.deappel.nl/cp/9/] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100726111950/http://www.deappel.nl/cp/9/|date=2010-07-26}}[http://www.deappel.nl/cp/ De Appel Curatorial Programme] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100323220658/http://www.deappel.nl/cp/|date=2010-03-23}}</ref> Over a period of eight months a selective group of five to six people are trained to become a curator. At the end of 2012, former director Ann Demeester initiated a new professional development programme in collaboration with The Fair Gallery: the Gallerist programme. This programme was the first practice-oriented educational course for (aspiring) gallery owners and (young) art professionals who wanted to deepen their curatorial and business competencies in the commercial segment of the art world.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-12-03|title=de Appel's Monika Szewczyk is Curating the Conditions for Deep Study|url=https://ocula.com/magazine/conversations/monika-szewczyk/|access-date=2021-12-03|website=ocula.com|language=en}}</ref>
