During Vlissingen 1572 on Saturday, April 11, 2026, the impressive Saint James' Church in the heart of Vlissingen will transform into an atmospheric art market.
Between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM, nearly twenty local and regional artists will present their work. Visitors can discover a diverse collection, from paintings and ceramics to jewelry and artisan objects, often inspired by the Zeeland coast. It's a wonderful opportunity to not only admire art but also to meet the artists in person.
