THE NETHERLANDS TEXAS BUSINESS ASSOCIATION
hosts an Open House art exhibit
The N.T.B.A. is grateful to report that the November 2009 first NTBA Art Exhibit was a wonderful and well-attended success!
The 4 hour Sow was held in the Alliance Francaise on Lovett, on a Sunday afternoon, and open to the public. NTBA’s Art Committee team worked efficiently and swiftly to put this Show together since we wanted to be sure and commemorate 400years of Netherlands-American relations! (Did you know that The Netherlands holds the longest uninterrupted diplomatic ties with the U.S.?)
As the Committee reported: “We had FUN, in the preparation before, on the exhibit floor, and in the kitchen during the Show – keeping it all going, loving the enthusiastic participation of our artists and the steady flow of people coming in!” Our NTBA added new members to the organization – always something we welcome and encourage - a string duet from Rice University provided beautiful background music, the Netherlands Consul spoke a warm word of welcome and our organization established relationships with 6 artists whose work we proudly featured: Liduine Bekman, Loes Berenschot, Maricel Blum, Barbara Heffron, Mary Claire Herman, Deniz Kabuloglu, and Ingrid van der Meer! We have great respect for your talent and a real appreciation for each of you personally. Many thanks to everyone who came to show us their support and who stayed for a while, enjoying the interesting collection of artwork, the crowd, the conversation, with a glass of wine and many good bites to enhance the overall “gezelligheid”.
This Event Will Be Repeated in November 2010.
