ART Laren kicked off well this year with beautiful weather, hosting some 50 galleries. This unique outdoor contemporary art show on the Brink in Laren is organized for more than 25 years now by the Kiwanis club, a charity organization raising funds to support children’s projects around the globe. It was a warm welcome again by the fair organization run solely by volunteers, with the traditional (new) herring party and some great cocktails on the first day. Some first sunny impressions.
