Christian Artists Association

General Christian Artists Association

The AKKV, Algemeen Kristelijk Kunstsverbond, was founded under the name Algemeen Katholieke Sterrenvereniging. The AKKV was founded as a national umbrella Catholic artists' organization. There are several departments within the AKKV, such as Architecture and Visual Arts. After the Second World War, several departments merged, resulting in an increase in membership. In the 1980s, the name of the AKKV changed to Algemeen Kristelijk Kunstsverbond.
