Painting Contest Mauve

On June 13, 2026, the Brink in Laren will host a unique and playful event: the Painting Contest in the Land of Mauve. Young and old alike are invited to paint the sheep flock of the Goois Nature Reserve in the heart of the village.

A flock of around fifty sheep will be placed behind the poffertjes stand. Adults can paint the scene from the pavement, while children have their own creative area directly behind the stand.

For children, the program starts at 10:30 AM with a short workshop led by a museum educator from Singer Laren, arriving with the Bakfiets Atelier. After the lesson, children can take part in the drawing competition. Around 12:00 PM, the jury will deliberate while the children enjoy fresh poffertjes.

Adult participants can paint on the Brink between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Afterwards, they can move to the Brinkhuis Cloister Garden to finish their artwork.

Children up to 12 years: €5
