YARD is a warm-hearted community day presented by STATE.DPT as a thank you to the people and communities they cherish, while welcoming new faces through the door. The event brings together a hand-selected curation of vintage, designer, and second-hand vendors, self-made brands, and activities under one roof. With catering by Studio Palmtak, a fully stocked bar, and a line-up of DJs throughout the day, YARD invites visitors to connect, discover, and enjoy the late August atmosphere together.
STATE.DPT is a grassroots cultural enrichment agency and creative studio operating in the subculture since 2020. Based in Den Haag, the agency bridges the gap between white-cube sociocultural theory and underground community enrichment, following a cultural ethos that advocates for collective responsibility and congregation at a time when third spaces have faced eradication.
As a catalyst for diverse, left-field cultural experiences, STATE.DPT has conducted high-grade exhibitions, panel talks, concerts, club nights, and multidisciplinary creative productions across the Netherlands.
