From September 23 through October 18, Karel Bodegom ( Design), Pim Piët (Fine Arts), and Paul de Mol ( Film) will transform the Albert Vogelzaal into the association’s temporary new home and present the Artlab project WAKE UP! there. All members can contribute to this effort by purchasing a stamp or by participating in the card drive for Art The Hague.
A special stamp and card have been designed to invite members and interested parties to the housewarming party on Saturday, October 17. Anyone who wants to spread the word about Wake Up and invite friends and family can use this stamp. The stamp or card also serves as admission to the evening events.
