October Art Month in Rotterdam Hillegersberg

01-10-2026

This October, Hillegersberg is celebrating art all month long! I am proud to be part of the inaugural Hillegersberg October Art Month.

In addition to established galleries, various shops and other locations are being temporarily transformed into exhibition spaces. This allows you to discover art in places where you might not normally expect it.

My paintings in Hillegersberg
My work will also be on display at various locations during the Art Month. You can find my paintings at:

Peter Akkerman Eyefashion
Marc Cain Fashion
Helmer Jeweler

It is a wonderful opportunity to view my work in a different setting. You might discover a painting you’ve seen online before, only to find it makes a completely different impression in person. That distinction is particularly special with paintings: you only truly experience the color, texture, and aura of an original piece when standing right in front of it.

A month full of art, inspiration, and connection
I am thrilled to be part of this new initiative. This month, art is literally becoming part of the shops, streets, and businesses of Hillegersberg. You can make a fun day out of it: viewing art, shopping, grabbing a drink, and discovering something new along the way.

So come to Hillegersberg this October and follow the art trail. You might go home with a new discovery or a piece of art that adds that special touch to your interior you’ve been looking for.
