Bermuda Open Studios
This coming weekend, Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 April, marks the fifth edition of Bermuda Open Studios. More than 140 artists across The Hague will open their studios to the public. It offers a rare opportunity to experience the making process up close. Below is a selection of studios by artists – connected to Gallery Viewer – who are opening their doors this weekend. In total, 22 locations throughout the city can be visited. Admission to the event is free.
At the Maakhaven studio complex, several artists are opening their doors to the public. Among them are Dirk Hardy (Project 2.0 / Gallery), Linda Overzee (Project 2.0 / Gallery) and Leslie Nagel (NL=US Art). This shared workspace offers insight into a wide range of practices, from photography and mural painting to sculpture.

Linda Overzee shows her monumental frescoes, and Leslie Nagel presents her kinetic sculptures. Maakhaven is located near Den Haag Hollands Spoor station at Calandkade 157.
