Under the title " And They Lived Happily Ever After, " this exhibition introduces contemporary painting from the perspectives of eleven artists, each presenting painting as the most powerful medium of our time. The exhibition was initiated by four Eindhoven artists: Aaron van Erp, Aagje Linssen, Jeroen Vrijsen, and Saskia de Marée, working under the name De Eindhovense School (The Eindhoven School) . Taking their work as a starting point, curator Manus Groenen (writer, curator, and curator of education at the Boymans van Beuningen Museum) invited seven additional contemporary painters: Ide André, Sam Hersbach, Kimball Gunnar Holth, Esther Tielemans, Thijs Segers, Ema Vaneková, and Anouk van Zwieten.
