Friday, October 14 is the day; then start the 10 days art festival in Bergen NH (Kunst10daagse Bergen). For many years, ceramist Elisabeth Leyen organizes a group exhibition at the art festival. This year she asked me to join her temporary gallery “StalKunst9” (StableArt9) Voert 9 in Bergen NH. Of course I gladly accepted.

The Kunst10daagse is an event where 260 artists exhibit at around 160 different locations in the historic village of Bergen NH and the beach village of Bergen aan Zee in North Holland. Traditionally this cultural festival is held in the autumn, in 2016 from 14 till October 23rd. With this years theme: visions.

Opening Saturday October 15

“Meet-and-Greet” all artists from “StalKunst9” during the official opening of the exhibition by the Mayor of Bergen on Saturday, October 15th from 3:00 PM.

You can also  attend a lecture by historian Jan Zwakman at both weekends from 3:00 till 4:00 PM, about the Dutch polders.

You are welcome

You are welcome at the Kunst10daagse Bergen at the location StalKunst9. There is a wide variety, from paintings to photography and bronze sculptures to ceramics.

Outside in the garden and inside the stable are all exhibited works. Because I will exhibit in the garden, I exhibit some big (frost resistant) sculptures.

What other work I shall exhibit? To tell you the truth, I have yet to make a selection. But whatever it is, I promise you that it will be worthwhile. My vision? Sunshine, so the glaze colors come out beautiful;-)
