De Appel is a contemporary arts centre, located in Amsterdam. Since it was founded in 1975 by Wies Smals [nl], the goal of De Appel is to function as a stage for research and presentation of visual arts. Exhibitions, publications and discursive events are the main activities of De Appel.[citation needed]

In 1994, Saskia Bos established an intensive course, called 'The Curatorial Programme'.[3] Over a period of eight months a selective group of five to six people are trained to become a curator. At the end of 2012, former director Ann Demeester initiated a new professional development programme in collaboration with The Fair Gallery: the Gallerist programme. This programme was the first practice-oriented educational course for (aspiring) gallery owners and (young) art professionals who wanted to deepen their curatorial and business competencies in the commercial segment of the art world.[4]

In 2023 Lara Khaldi was appointed director.[5]
