Art: Umbrella Art
Keep an eye out this Saturday for extraordinary looking umbrellas. UmbrellART, an ‘international road show’ by art collective Xstreets, will have its members strolling around town, showing off 40 unique hand-made umbrellas by domestic and international artists. The collective aims to take art out to the streets so that it’s accessible to everyone. Some of the artistic contributors include fashion designer Merel Boers, graffiti legend Zimad and renowned street poet Laser 3.14 as well as kagablog’s very own andrea stuyversant. The umbrella tour starts at 15.30 on the Nieuwmarkt and ends at 18.00 at Chiel van Zelst’s gallery Chiellerie, where the collection will be on display for a week. (Isabel Serval) Chiellerie, Daily 14.00-18.00, free. Until 9 October.
