A protest: Breda without the Beeldenaar is like a baker without flour (1984)

In 1983, the Beeldenaar moved from its wonderful Ginneken location to the old Lambertus School in the center of Breda. In the early nineties it moved again, this time to the old Sint Joost building, where Marlies herself had studied from 1965 to 1969. There, the name was changed to Nieuwe Veste. She taught there until 2010.

While researching the history of the Beeldenaar, I found a great photograph of Marlies and her colleagues (Sef Peeters under the C of China Garden) protesting budget cuts at Breda City Hall in 1984. She is resting her chin on her arm, listening carefully.
