Festival Culture on the Corner
On Saturday, June 3, there will again be the Festival Cultuur op de Hoek. That day, Dordrecht amateur art associations will be given a stage in the (inner) city. There will be performances, workshops, open houses and an exhibition; a great way to get acquainted with the many associations in Dordrecht. This new culture festival is open to everyone free of charge.
Culture on the Corner features a continuous program from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at various locations. A large stage at Scheffersplein will be the centerpiece of the festival. Admission to all activities is free.
Well-known and lesser-known names will perform between 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on the three downtown stages and on the Art Church stage.

Exhibition, information and Multi Painting
The Dordrecht Amateur Photographers (DAF) have set up an exhibition in the City Library (Groenmarkt 153) and will also be there to provide information. The members and teachers of Painting and Drawing Association Studio 76 are going to make some nice big paintings in the Vriesestraat (corner Lenghengang) together with passers-by. Anyone can grab a brush and participate in this Multi Painting activity.
