Unveiling of 5 murals in Oost and Delftwijk
Five new murals featuring themes suggested by residents are being installed across the Haarlem districts of Oost and Delftwijk. Funded by the city council and supported by Elan Wonen, the artworks will be officially unveiled to the public during events in September and October.
This summer, five new murals are being created in the Haarlem districts of Oost and Delftwijk through a collaboration between the local municipality, art platform 37PK, and housing corporation Elan Wonen. The project, which received a budget of 100,000 euros following a city council motion, features designs developed with input from local residents. These artworks focus on various themes, including the area's history, local nature, and the experiences of youth.
Public reveal events are scheduled for September 19, October 2, and October 3. Among the projects are a greenery-themed piece in Oost and a tribute to the neighborhood's historical cattle paths. Other murals in Delftwijk highlight themes such as the local bird population and youth collaboration. While the schedule remains subject to change based on weather conditions, city officials and project leaders will participate in these celebratory unveilings to showcase the artistic contributions to the community.
