heART exhibition
heart in the garden is a collaboration of artists (called heARTists) that exhibit in the home and garden of fellow heARTist, Johan Alberts, since 2006. The exhibition, featuring art works and other hand-made stocking fillers have grown from strength the strength, attracting many many 'die heart fans'

 


It is pronounced as ‘heart in the garden’ – Johan and Melt just got creative in the way they wanted to emphasize both 'heart' and 'art'. A lot of heART goes into the ART exhibition.
