A platform for art, culture, and gastronomy

At MIES, art holds a permanent place. Every three months, the building is transformed into an exhibition space for a Rotterdam-based artist. Their work is showcased throughout the entire venue, from restaurant to bar and lobby, creating a continuous dialogue between art, gastronomy, and our community.

With these rotating exhibitions, MIES offers a stage for emerging talent and invites guests to discover something new time and again. Each exhibition is festively opened, bringing art and encounter together.

Interested in a piece? Feel free to ask our staff or get in touch; we’ll gladly connect you directly with the artist.

At Mies, works by the Rotterdam artist Melissa Moria are on display. 
Her work is intuitive and process-oriented, rooted in material research and personal stories. Melissa works with raw, natural materials. From washing and cooking linen to dyeing with pigments like onion skins, flowers, or cochineal. This results in layered canvases that bear traces of time, labor, and touch.

Her work moves between inner images, memories, and the tangibility of the material. Themes such as femininity, memory, and environment run like a common thread through her paintings, works on paper, and sculptural pieces. Fragile and raw, layered and open. Always an invitation to pause and take a look! Her work is also for sale. Will you come to admire her work at Mies?

At Mies, we believe in connection – not only with the city and its people, but also by giving something back. That's why we support Stichting Lekker Geven, a Rotterdam initiative founded to directly and practically help vulnerable people in the city. The foundation is committed to people facing poverty, medical problems, or other setbacks, and provides support where it is most needed.

From the artworks exhibited at MIES, 10% of the proceeds go directly to Stichting Lekker Geven. This way, artists and guests together contribute to a more beautiful and fairer city.
