Wobby.club is the platform for autonomous illustration, visual art, and literature in the Netherlands. It organises the risoprinted magazine Wobby, the two-week residency To Riso or Not, the Wobby Workout residency, the DIY-publishing fair Wobby Wonderland, and many more projects. It is based in the studio complex NS16 in Tilburg, in the south of the Netherlands.

Wobby.club is a foundation, and retrieves its income from the distribution of its magazine, art prints, books, workshops and commissions, and is granted multi-annual support from Wobby’s hometown, the Municipality of Tilburg. We regularly collaborate with local and regional parties, such as De Pont museum, TextielMuseum, Kunstpodium T, Illustrada Festival, MAKE Eindhoven, De Nachtzuster, and Landpark Assisië. 

Wobby was originally founded in 2015 by Jeroen de Leijer, Marjolein Schalk, and S.L. Trumpstein (Stephan de Weert), a group of artists rooted in the absurdist tradition in the Southern Netherlands. Nowadays, Wobby.club’s core club members are Marjolein Schalk, Joan Bosveld, Andrew Cartwright, and Boris de Leijer. 

Our board members are: Klaartje Esch (chair), Mir Wermuth (treasurer), and Kelly van den Bosch (secretary).
