Kunst zij ons doel

Kunst zij ons doel, or KZOD, (English: Art be our aim) is the name of an artists club in the Waag, Haarlem.

[1] Hendriks was curator of the Teylers Museum, and he took over the inventory of plaster casts from the academie and set up a new educational group, which changed its name in 1809 to "Kunstmin en Vlijt".

From 1841 KZOD received 200 guilders a year from the Teylers Stichting, when it moved its quarters to the Waag.

The "KZOD" is the oldest professional association of visual artists in the Netherlands still in existence today.

The drawing room. According to archives, prominent members could sit closest to the model, and other members sat in the back. Some of those sitting on the rear benches in the 20th century were women. Women were allowed to become working members in 1892, and in 1900 women were allowed to participate in the drawing evenings from live model.
