First gallery tour an (exhausting) success.

So glad my first gallerytour went so well. I made a few discoveries. A nice one was not art-related: a very good and uncredibly cheap thai diner on Philips Street in Waterloo. From now on, you'll find me there on most nights ;-)

Anyway - all those who were there seem to agree.: this was a great activity. Happy to get good feedback, for instance:

Tambourine Girl

"Thank you so much for organising this activity. I really enjoyed myself - a good mix of galleries, interesting to talk to some of the artisits and a nice way of meeting people. Obviously a lot of work went into organising this and it was very much appreciated. Will definately recommend friends go on the next tour."
Wiebe

"Thanx a lot Jelle, it was great! looking forward to the next tour, I like the gallery barry keldoulis the best."
Transcendance

"Great variety! Presentations by artists and gallery staff provided much insight. The walking was not a hassel due to the high morale felt by a friendly group. Jelle did a lot to make it easy for everyone. "

"Thanks Jelle, a fun and interesting day with the Gallery owner talks being a real highlight. Brendan"
Red Lady

"Thank for organising this so well, although I only came for the last part of the activity I saw an interesting mix of galleries, especially enjoyed the artist talks in the last gallery."
Fleur

"Jelle, I had a great time on Saturday and really appreciated how much effort and time obviously went into organising this activity. Even though I had to go at 4.30pm because of family stuff, I was pretty tired by then, so congratulations to all who lasted the distance!"

"Apart from a couple stops that did nothing for me, was a great mind-opener. Something I'd only so-far thought of doing and Jelle made it trivial to experience. Very much appreciated. And apparently alot of the galleries turn-over exhibits quickly so now I know. Awesome."
ChilliGirl

"What a fantastic day! Very well organised. When we got to the last gallery we were exhausted - but it was worth it!"
Juni

"Loved it. It was a bit too many Galleries for me in a day though."
Pika

"An enjoyable and very well organised day. Even though we visited many galleries, the exhibits are quite different and varied... to even eccentric art!"
