Description

This walking route is for everyone who is interested in visual arts and is curious about"stories behind the images\\\". This is followed by a beautiful route along a quiet part of the Westland coast.

Walking route along visual arts
The first part of the walking route (the art walk) was devised by Arnold Beugelsdijk. He is a visual artist and lives in Monster. He was asked to purchase visual works of art for the public space in's-Gravenzande with a team. This is to introduce the population to art by contemporary Dutch sculptors. At the moment there are more than 25 statues in's-Gravenzande and the Heenweg. That is unique in Westland. The walking route leads you through the center of's-Gravenzande past 8 of these impressive statues.

and a beautiful part of the Westland coast
The route then follows to the dunes and the Banks water area. Enjoy birds and animals in the dunes and the wide, rugged beach here.

Organized art walk
You can also walk the first part, the art walk, with Arnold himself. During the walk he passionately tells a beautiful story about all the works of art. Who is the artist? Which materials are used? And what is the idea behind the image?
He has now walked the'art walk\\\' along a number of sculptures with small and large groups of interested parties. Arnold:"It is always nice to see that my fellow walkers already look at the images with'different eyes\\\' during the tour.\\\"

The organized art route takes more than 2 hours and the costs are € 15.- pp incl. coffee/tea and something sweet. You can book the walking tour via 06-41720276.
