Launch of our Friends of the Street



Today two events took place at the same time.

1. the Karspeldreef, one of the border roads of our project area, re-opened to the public after a complete make-over.

2. the Day of the 1000 Cultures, a yearly event marking the new cultural season in Amsterdam Southeast.

For the Street of Sculptures, it was a perfect opportunity to launch our Friends of the Street programme. It is a programme through which people can support the project by means of a small donation (20-500 euro).


For the Karspeldreef event, we had a presentation in an abandoned store within shopping centre Kraaiennest. Unfortunately, the store was way in the back (and smelling a bit musty). And since the weather was absolutely fantastic, everybody was enjoying the sun outside on the Karspeldreef.

At the other event however, the Street had its own outdoor booth, attracting a lot of people.

Sonsbeek 2008


The team of Street of Sculptures went to Sonsbeek to get inspiration for our own very first art event. Lots of interesting, funny and beautiful art in a beautiful park.
