Dizze dogge der ta... according to Thijs Damsma

Kunstruimte De Smederij
5 October 2025 to 31 October 2025

About this activity.

31 celebrities that matter! From the world of art, culture, sports, and politics. Depicted in watercolor by Thijs Damsma and on display at the exhibition 'Dizze dogge der ta'.

Over the past four years, Damsma created 366 portraits based on a date linked to the person depicted. This project, carried out in collaboration with his brother Dick Damsma, resulted in a book and calendar showcasing the portraits along with accompanying texts. The project has led to a traveling exhibition that tours throughout the Netherlands, with monthly sub-exhibitions in various provinces.

In October, the exhibition will be on display in Kunstruimte De Smederij, featuring portraits of Che Guevara, Diego Maradona, and Marianne Timmer, among others.
Discover the portraits selected by Damsma for October. And read their story to understand why they matter!

The exhibition will be opened on October 5th at 2:00 PM.
After that, the exhibition can be seen from Thursday to Sunday, from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM.
