ABC URBAN ARTS FESTIVAL | Amsterdam

Thought I’d share some of the events I plan on checking out while I’m in the city, so if you happen to be in Amsterdam, don’t miss the ABC Urban Art Festival 2010:

On Saturday June 26 2010, from 1pm to 6pm, the large square in front of  The American Book Center Amsterdam will be transformed into an outdoor atelier, with artists showing and creating work on-site for the public to enjoy.

The line-up will include Pia Jane Bijkerk, who will be signing her latest book Amsterdam: Made by Hand; illustrator Kate Bingaman-Burt, who has worked on projects such as Handmade Nation: The Rise of DIY, Art, Craft and Design and has drawn for IDEO, HandMade Magazine and more; Dutch artist Fake who will be painting a fresh stencil for the festival; as well as many more artists, designers and ‘creatives’ who will be sharing their work and expertise across the square. It will be a full day of workshops and discussions covering subjects such as design, crafts, illustration and practical crossovers between the areas.

Matthijs [MCK] Kamstra is a young Dutch designer, specializing in paper engineering, who has worked for huge Dutch names like Albert Heijn, Het Rijksmuseum, D-Reizen, and TPG Post.
