Sabine Liedtke (Drachten 1971) graduated from Academie Minerva in Groningen. Liedtke makes drawings on different sizes and types of paper. In her work she zooms in on details from nature. Isolating the subject from the environment or repeating shapes is a way for her to engage better. She carefully chooses figurative and abstract shapes as visual language. Her drawings are built up by repetitively drawing lines or dots. Representing reality is a means, but ultimately it is about the feeling that the work evokes.
June 28 – August 31
North of Heerenveen lies the nature reserve De Deelen. It is an interplay of open water, swamp forests and narrow grasslands created by peat extraction for peat production. In 2023/24 Bruno Van Dijck and Christiaan Kuitwaard went there together to paint. Their impressions of De Deelen can be seen in the exhibition.

Fall exhibition
October 11, 2025 – January 18, 2026
Exhibition of the work of Samal Joensen Mikines (1906-1979), born on the Faroe Islands. The artist worked mainly on the island of Mykines – where he was famous – and was inspired by his immediate surroundings: the sea, the rugged hilly landscape, the cold hills and small fishing villages. His work is somewhere between impressionistic and expressionistic and focuses mainly on light and space. During his life Mikines contemplated alternately on the islands and in Denmark, where he considered gold as one of the important cards of his generation. The exhibition at the Museum Belvédère derides small landscapes and sea paintings that have similarities with the work of Northern Dutch landscape painters who are represented in the museum's collection. A Dutch monograph will be published to accompany the exhibition.
