| | Welcome De Nollen Artist Space by Rudi van de Wint | For Rudi van de Wint (1942-2006), art was synonymous with life. In the old landward dune area of De Nollen, he brought various disciplines together. Landscape transforms into sculpture, sculpture into painting, painting into sunlight, and sunlight returns again to the landscape. This winter, De Nollen is open to the public on every last Sunday of the month. From 31 March, De Nollen will again be open to the public on a regular basis.

| | Rietveld House Owners United | The Rietveld Houses Association is a platform for owners and residents of houses designed by Gerrit Rietveld. Since 2019, they have shared knowledge about maintenance, restoration, and sustainability issues, based on the belief that the best way to preserve Rietveld’s homes - not only the iconic houses, but his complete oeuvre - is through the love and care of their owners and residents.

| | Rietveld's Reeuwijk Neighbourhood Saved! | This summer saw the completion of a project to restore eight of Gerrit Rietveld's distinctive alternating homes in Reeuwijk to their original design. The houses are unique: the large windows allow sunlight to flood in and the front garden of one house adjoins the back garden of another. Apart from the Papaverhof in The Hague, alternating houses like these are found nowhere else in the Netherlands.
