Both inside the hotel and the surrounding buildings you will find historic and modern art treasures. This inspired to add an art program with various art exhibitions. As of March 2020, every 6-8 weeks we exhibite some selected collections of various artists. The name of this programme is ‘Art at the Parc’.
CAIUS AND ARTHUR SPRONKEN
From 8 July, our very own cultural programme Art at the Parc will host a special exposition by Caius Spronken and his father Arthur. Outdoor sculptures, made by both artists, have been included in the sculpture route Sculptures at the Parc, and 6 smaller objects made by Arthur can be admired in the Main House. There are also framed drawings in the Carriage House and Main House. These drawings of different sizes are made with oil paint, charcoal, and East-Indian ink with an amazon horse rider theme. The drawings were made between 2010 and 2015 and are framed in Douglas wood.
We cordially invite you to come and admire this wonderful art at Parc Broekhuizen.

Michèl Poort.
For a month, the Parc will be dedicated to the work of artist Michèl Poort.
His special work is all about the heart with heart creations of ceramics, wood and glass and digital works, among others. For Michèl, the heart is his life’s work: “For me as an artist, the heart is the most beautiful form within which anything is possible. This is where I can be and that is what I like to share”. In this exhibition, discover his ‘heartbeats’, a retrospective of the heart that makes everything beat again. Poort’s exhibition is part of Parc Broekhuizen’s art programme Art at the Parc where work will be on display at the Coach House, the hotel, Restaurant Voltaire and Bistro LOF.
Mart Visser
Mart Visser, as a renowned couturier and fashion designer, needs no introduction. What is less known is the fact that he is also an artist. He is particularly touched by the expression of the face. The portraits of impressive heads, heads and facial expressions that Visser paints are rough and abstract in design, this in stark contrast to the delicate design of his haute couture. As in his fashion collections, midnight blue, dark orange, ochre and grayish tones dominate his portraits.
During the exhibition at Parc Broekhuizen, Visser presents new, unique work that has never been shown before. In the spring of 2022, there will be a retrospective exhibition of Mart Visser’s work from the past five years at Museum Voorlinden.

Her work is in the collection of companies, including Ahold and Akzo Nobel. Her book ‘Ik dicht je bij me’, with her own poems and drawings, reached its seventh edition in a short time.

Paulien Huizinga
Exhibition from August 26, 2o21 until January 2022 – Main House, Carriage House & Bistro LOF
Paulien Huizinga (born Deventer, 1971) started her career as television repoter but found her true passion in photography, Wat started out as a hobby, turned into a discovery during her pre-studies at the Photo Academy. Photographing really moved her and she knew she was on the right path. A lot of practise and making mistakes, standing up again and trying over and over again.
Because, she had a dream!
Years later, she ownes her own studio in Blaricum and exhibits her work worldwide, both Paris, Milan and L.A. Paulien’s work mostly characterizes itself by strong women showing their vulnerabilty. Sensuality, sexuality, shapes and curves, you will disover them all in her creations, but above all, she feels the need to share her journey in search for the Aphrodite in every woman she has in front of her camera. Aphrodite, the godess of love, beauty and sensuality, but never a victim of who she is or who ever crosses her path.
