Fall break at KAdE

art, storytelling and creation for all

The autumn vacations are here, and at Kunsthal KAdE in Amersfoort, an inspiring and diverse program is waiting, perfect for families, friends or solo visitors. This fall season, you can experience art, stories and creative workshops that tie in with the current exhibition Jacob Lawrence: African American Modernist. This exhibition forms the basis for the activities: Lawrence's powerful paintings, drawings and prints tell stories about identity, migration and hope, as well as inviting self-reflection and making.

During this period, for example, you can join our entry-level tours: every Sunday at 11:00 a.m., a museum docent will take you through the exhibition, providing background information and special details that will enrich your visit.

On Wednesday  Oct. 22 at 3 p.m. We are hosting a reading afternoon in partnership with Eemland Library for children ages 4-8 with a guided tour and a creative mini-workshop where children can imagine their own story inspired by Lawrence's art.
