Markthal in Rotterdam, Netherlands, hosts TVR by Tyra on 24 October 2026 for a special event combining live personalisation with support for the Food Bank. The venue has invited the artist to work on kitchen items while a separate auction raises money for the charity.
TVR by Tyra brings live personalisation to Markthal
The event takes place on Saturday, 24 October 2026, at the covered market in Rotterdam. TVR by Tyra will personalise cutting boards, storage jars and other kitchen items with hand-drawn illustrations and personal texts.
The programme is centred on making an ordinary market purchase into an individual object. Visitors can stop by while the artist works on selected items, and the operator also plans an auction of designs created by TVR by Tyra. The full proceeds of that auction will go to the Food Bank.
The date and venue are confirmed on the operator event page, which describes the activity as a special event at the market hall. Its wording invites visitors to stop by on 24 October, rather than presenting the activity as a closed or invitation-only occasion.
The 2014 building turns a charity event into a visual visit
Markthal opened for business on 1 October 2014 after five years of construction. The building was designed by Rotterdam architectural practice MVRDV and combines a covered food market with housing in its large arched structure.
Inside, the ceiling carries Horn of Plenty, a colourful work by Arno Coenen and Iris Roskam. The artwork covers 11,000 square metres and depicts enlarged fruit, vegetables, flowers, insects and other food-related forms. The operator describes the building as the first covered market in the Netherlands.
That setting gives the October event a direct connection with the building rather than placing it in an unrelated city venue. The kitchenware being personalised reflects the market hall’s food and cooking identity, while the artwork overhead provides the visual context for a visit focused on craft and charity. The building history and design details are set out by the official building history.
Markthal links the event with Rotterdam food culture
The market hall stands at Ds. Jan Scharpstraat 298 in central Rotterdam. Its food stalls, shops and restaurants form the everyday setting around the October activity, so the event can be encountered as part of a wider visit to the building.
The operator’s announcement does not describe a change to the building’s normal access or a closure of any section. It presents the personalisation activity and auction as an additional programme item for 24 October 2026. Visitors therefore have a clearly dated event to look for, while the building itself remains the main setting.
Rotterdam’s visitor information places the market hall beside Blaak station, with train, metro and tram connections. The location also puts the event close to the city centre and the Binnenrotte area, making the venue identifiable for visitors arriving from elsewhere in the Netherlands or from Western Europe.
