Portrait artist Bea Dame
Saturday & Sunday
Portrait painter Bea Dame
Hello, I am Bea Dame, 65 years old. I have been painting and drawing with great pleasure all my life. However, the intensity has changed over time. Other activities then took priority. For a few years now I have been focusing on portraits, in which I portray not only people but also animals and trees. In portraits, skills come together to best represent what makes the person personal. That makes each portrait a new challenge.
Bea will be there during the Redhead Days weekend to take beautiful portraits, so sign up at her tent! For € 15,00 you will have a wonderful portrait!
Costs: €15,- at the workshop-stand
Portrait artist Arjeta Mala
Sunday
Hello! I am Arjeta Mala, a visual artist with a passion for expressive portraits in soft pastel shades. Two years ago I was already working live on Redhead Day – and this year I will be there again!
My work was recently honored with a place in the Rijksmuseum, where my portrait hung for three months next to that of other selected artists, inspired by Rembrandt.
Have your face captured in a unique pastel portrait – warm, personal and with an eye for your character.
Normally you pay around € 200.00 for a portrait by Arjeta. Especially for the redheads you can take your portrait with you for only € 45.00! You can register and pay at Arjeta herself.
Costs: €45,- at the workshop-stand
Portrait artist Joop de Jong
Saturday
Take the opportunity to have a unique portrait made by draftsman and painter Joop: “It is a challenge and inspiring to sketch someone in a striking portrait in a short time. I will be there again this year. I always have an interested audience at the Redhead Days and I experience a lot of fun drawing with beautiful models.”
Joop will make a black and white portrait sketch of you or a portrait sketch in terracotta color.
For €25.00 you can take a sketch of yourself home. You can register and pay with Joop himself.
Costs: €25,- at the workshop-stand
Photographer Hans
Saturday 12pm-3pm & Sunday 11am-1pm
Hans Dirksen-Smits is a musician and photographer from Rotterdam. Although he has mainly focused on music since the early 1980s, photography has become increasingly important over time.
His appreciation for the 'dark' side of life can be seen in both his music and his photographs. In his photographic work he shows a side of the city and nature that people often ignore and reveals its unexpected beauty.
In recent years he has increasingly specialized in moody, sometimes dramatic portraits.
The last three years he made beautiful portraits of redheads and this year he is there again to portray you!

Photographer Bert van Voorst
Saturday 3pm-5pm & Sunday 2pm-5pm
My name is Bert van Voorst (Enschede, 1953). I am a retired history teacher and have been active as a photographer for more than fifty years. For several years now, I have been devoting myself full-time to photography, particularly on long-term projects.
I completed a project with portraits of redheads in 2024, which was also published in book form. In March of this year, eighty of my photos were on display in ‘De Clossenborgh’ in Hilvarenbeek. Finally, I would like to mention the series of photos about the Tilburg carnival, which will be exhibited next year in the De Roos gallery in Tilburg and then in the Carnival Museum in Den Bosch.
I am currently working on a project about the healthcare sector in the municipality of Hilvarenbeek. With about a hundred portraits, I want to give a current picture of the people who earn their living in primary care every day. The aim is to capture these people in the middle of their daily work.
