Welcome to the website of the Paintersweek "In het licht van Walcheren"
The 8th edition takes place 29th of May - 4th of June 2011 in Domburg, The Netherlands
Domburg as an artist-colony
The annual international Paintersweek in Domburg is being organised by the Stichting Art & Performance. The organisation focuses itself on giving the town of Domburg a revival as an artist-colony, a reputation it had in the first part of the 20th century when painters like Piet Mondriaan and Jan Toorop were working here in summertime. They were inspired by this town and the special light of the Walcheren-peninsula.
The Event
Thirty professional painters and Photographers from Holland an abroad will be invited to Domburg, to show the public their talent. They can work within closed doors, outside on the beach or in the streets of Domburg, using their own fantasy, the surroundings or the inspiration of live model-sessions we will organise.
At the end of the week the artwork will be exhibited in the Duingalerie in Domburg. At the end of the summer an auction takes place. The proceeds of the sold paintings and pictures, sponsorship and donations are the funding of this project and makes it possible to organise this event annually.
In 2011 we will welcome participants from Russia, Argentina, UK, Denmark, USA, Germany, Belgium and Holland.
