‘EPWN/CW Hague Xmas Dinner’
Tuesday 20 December 2011, 19:00-22:00
Van der Valk Pier Scheveningen
2586 JK Den Haag

Dear ladies,
In order to celebrate the festive season, we’ll be doing something different this month:– instead of a Borrel, we are organising an EPWN/CW Hague Xmas Dinner!

We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to this EPWN/CW Hague Xmas Dinner, which shall take place on Tuesday 20 December 2011, from 19:00-22:00 at Van der Valk Pier Scheveningen!

This Xmas Dinner also provides a great opportunity for meeting other women, networking and exchanging views about work/life in The Netherlands. And remember that everybody is welcome, membership is not required, nor is celebrating Xmas required.

For this Dinner we have managed to secure a special rate of €45,– per person, which includes a welcome drink, a 3-course dinner and unlimited drink between 19:00-22:00.
Registration
Please make sure you register your attendance (either as a member or as a guest) above. Alternatively, you can send an email to Erika at erika@bothassistanceandsupport.nl. Please also don’t forget to de-register if you are not able to make it after all!

We need to confirm the number of attendees with the restaurant 24 hours in advance. When pre-registered people do not show up, this puts us in a difficult position, as the restaurant has prepared food for more people.
We hope many of you will join us for our EPWN/CW Hague Xmas Dinner and we are looking forward to seeing you all on the 20th!

Warm regards,

The European Professional Women’s Network is organising the next Amsterdam Borrel at Loods 6, Bagagehal where 4 galleries created an exhibition on one location

The 4 galeries : Maria Chailloux, Roger Katwijk, Nico en Riekje van Breemen, and Oeke Witteveen sponsor our borrel and they organize a – short- guide tour  along the exhibition, http://4galeries.nl

Van 23 september tot en met 2 oktober vindt een omvangrijke expositie plaats in de Bagagehal van Loods 6, die dit jaar voor de vijfde keer door galeriehouders Maria Chailloux, Roger Katwijk, Nico en Riekje van Breemen, en Oeke Witteveen georganiseerd wordt.
Hét moment om nieuw werk van hun kunstenaars en enkele interessante nieuwkomers aan het kunstpubliek te laten zien.
En een belangrijke gebeurtenis voor de stad Amsterdam, want sinds de eerste editie in 2007 is het bezoekersaantal verdubbeld en het aantal lovende publicaties in de media aanmerkelijk toegenomen.

Aan de expositie in Loods 6 nemen dit jaar zo’n 35 kunstenaars deel met heel divers werk. Daaronder bijzondere sculpturen van uiteenlopende materialen, eigentijdse schilderkunst en grafiek. Ook wordt er in Loods 6 ruim aandacht geschonken aan teken- en videokunst, en aan fotografie. Zo is er een eerste selectie van de foto’s te zien die David – een jonge Roemeense zigeuner – maakte onder begeleiding van de kunstenaar Jaap de Ruig in het kader van het project What David sees. En er hangen in de bagagehal enkele monumentale fotowerken van de Duitse fotograaf Georg Kuettinger die indrukwekkende fotografische landschappen maakt uit honderden verschillende opnames. Van de kunstenaar Marcel Reijerman zijn er werken op papier te zien, die bijzonder rijk aan beeld zijn en getekend met een aanstekelijke plezier in de vele picturale mogelijkheden die houtskool en conté bieden. Tussen de tekeningen valt vooral het werk van de tekenaar Paul van Dongen op. Tijdens de expositie in Loods 6 brengt hij een aantal etsen die een religieus-symbolische inslag hebben. Ook zijn er van hem een paar bijzonder fraaie aquarellen en kleuretsen te zien. Verfijnd werk dat getuigt van een groot vakmanschap en een bijzonder oog voor detail.

We look forward to meeting you!

The Albert Heijn Parking is recommended in case you will be travelling by car.

Outside you see an office block in the business discrict of Amsterdam. Inside you find a world where the new comes crashing down on the old, and the future is anything but clear. A world created by the English company dreamthinkspeak. Artistic director Tristan Sharps’ mix of film and live performance was based on Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard. The old servant Firs is the only one still wandering about, adrift in time, looking for a place to rest. He leads us from the Old Russia to a mecca for the new millennium, a journey spanning hundred years and covering fifty four thousand square feet of floor space, which makes you realise what it means to feel a stranger in your own world.

Please note: this is a continuing performance. People will be given admission in small groups every 5 minutes.  So please buy or order your ticket in advance at www.hollandfestival.nl, then we can enter the theater together as the epwn group.

entrance fee Euro (€) 20
