Tulip Time
Tulip Time 2020 will be the premier of the Dutch Dance Exhibit as part of the new Visual Arts Series hosted by the Holland Area Arts Council.
At this exhibit, visitors can explore a collection of some of the most exceptional and intricately designed Dutch Dance costumes in this beautiful and educational exhibit. Travel through the Provinces, to appreciate the history behind the costumes, the artistry and how the selection of materials serves to maintain authenticity, and the detailed process of their creation. Learn about Tulip Time’s Dutch Dance program, the Dutch Dance music and the dance itself. The exhibit also celebrates the 50thyear of Alumni Dutch Dance.
A fun feature has been added to the exhibit giving everyone a chance to participate. We will display a constant stream of some of the best Dutch Dance photos and we would love to include yours!
