Atelier Willem van Hest

Atelier Willem van Hest opens its doors for Groot Rotterdams Atelier Weekend 2026 (location 40 on the route map, Rotterdam East). Studios are open Sat 19 Sept and Sun 20 Sept, 12:00 to 18:00. Entry is free with a ticket reserved through GRAW; a voluntary contribution goes to the makers.

In Kralingen, five art locations can be visited within walking distance of one another. Walk from Oostzeedijk to the studios on Lambertusstraat and make sure to come to Annastraat.

At Marita Beukers, on the corner with Lambertusstraat, you can see photography, photo collages and paintings by Marita Beukers, alongside objects by Yvon Koopman and jewellery by Maaike van Vugt-Schrijver.

At Annastraat 10, Willem van Hest’s studio opens its doors. Ron Blom presents works exploring slowness and liminal space, while Francisca Henneman shows objects and jewellery made from industrial rubber. Willem van Hest presents drawings, prints, printed matter and paintings about Rotterdam, nature, travel and the human experience.

Come and take a look, step inside and be surprised by the artists and their work.
