The Avenue

Every Bredenaar and every visitor has seen artworks in the city at one or more locations, installed in public spaces, on blind walls. It is hardly surprising; they can now be admired at more than 170 locations. Sometimes you pass by them unconsciously, sometimes you stop and notice that they relate to the place where they are installed, or you wonder why this work is exactly located there.<br><br>
As a guest at De Gouden Cirkel, Dennis Elbers is present. He is the founder and director of Blind Walls Gallery. In his lecture, he discusses many angles of Street Art — the art form in proper Dutch. Where does this art form originate? What is its societal significance? How does an artwork come into being? What does it involve? Who are involved? What does the organisation Blind Walls Gallery do? There is ample opportunity to exchange ideas with Dennis about his presentation and the Blind Walls Gallery.

Street art is now an integral part of the Breda street scene – with more than 170 artworks in public spaces, the city is a large open-air gallery. During a lecture at De Gouden Cirkel, Dennis Elbers, founder of Blind Walls Gallery, will take you into the world behind this art form.
