Yes, we did! On our announcement of the Artfusion Event we planned we got a lot of comments about the location. Many of you asked us why we didn’t plan it somewhere in the middle of the Netherlands. It would be easier for you to get there and it would also increase the travel distance/time for a lot of you. Also we heard that April was already so full of events and stuff.
And we agree! So we decided to postpone the event and find a better location. We think we found the perfect place!
Artfusion will now take place June 15-16 in the middle of the lovely city of Utrecht. Being a big railways junction in the Netherlands and only 45 minutes by train from Schiphol airport we think Utrecht is one of the best places we could have chosen.
The facility (Kade Ateliers) is a canal house at the Leidsekade 17, near the center of Utrecht where we have the availability of 2 lovely, light rooms. As we see it, we have all the ingredients for an amazing creative weekend on hand here.
Here are some pictures of the location:
We also made some changes in the workshops. You will find the schedule, the workshops and prices below:
SATURDAY, JUNE 15:
9.30 – 13.00 – Season Canvas Workshop by Nathalie Kalbach
In this Workshop with Nathalie Kalbach, you will create a stunning and unique canvas that will be a wonderful home décor item.
Learn how to create dimension and texture with tissue paper, items of daily life, acrylic paint, lace, burlap, and gesso.
Learn how to reveal the interesting and eye-catching texture with acrylic paints and acrylic inks and add some fun stamping techniques on top.
We will be adding lots of layers and dimension to make this a spring, summer, fall or winter canvas… just as you like. All the techniques can easily be applied to future projects.
14.00 – 17.30 Embossing and Beyond Mini Album Workshop by Birgit Koopsen
SUNDAY, JUNE 16:
10.00 – 12.30 Mixed Media Meets Scrapbooking, a layout workshop by Birgit Koopsen

This is beautiful…love the color tones. I was trying to think of something clever that has to do with windows (thats what first stood out to me in the canvas)….like The Windows of St. Pauli or Windows into the Soul…..hmmmm. Good luck on the exhibit – I’m sure it will be a huge hit!!

Hallo Nathalie,
ich lese Deinen Blog nun schon eine ganze Weile und ich finde Deine Bilder wirklich toll.
Habe selbst 20 Jahre in HH gelebt und musste nun vor 4 Wochen aus beruflichen Gründen weg ziehen (Süddeutschland *heul*). Hätte mir gerne Deine Ausstellung angesehen.
Den Titel “Nachtschattengewächse”, den Du dem Blogpost gegeben hast, finde ich eigentlich ganz gut. Ansonsten vielleicht “Abseits der sündigen Meile” oder “Schlaflos in St. Pauli”, aber “Nachtschattengewächse” wäre da eindeutig mein Favorit.
Viel Glück und Erfolg für Deine Ausstellung! Und alles Gute für den Umzug und den Neustart in NJ. Ich bin ein bisschen neidisch ;-))
LG Sabine

So exciting! And so happy for you, it’s going to be a great exhibition!
I was first thinking about something like “laughter echoes from the stone walls” but then it started sounding scarry, like a horror movie XD
