What we’re about
Walk together through Amsterdam North
Listen, see, feel, smell and draw
On the road with a writer or a drawing pencil
The walks are for everyone,
No drawing experience necessary.
Surprise yourself
Visual artist Liesje van den Berk, Boekhandel van Noord and the Boven 't Y shopping center organize a monthly walk through Amsterdam North. Walks led by a writer and drawing walks will alternate every other month. These walks are part of 750 years of Amsterdam, a gift for and of the city. For example, the writer Joost Janmaat from “Het wilde Noord” talks about nature in Amsterdam North. The following month we will draw this nature using short drawing assignments and under the guidance of visual artist Liesje van den Berk. Drawing and walking is a way to experience the richness of your environment and make contact with each other. During the walks you will discover new images, places and stories about your neighborhood by looking, drawing and listening.
