Thousandth visitor at exhibition
"Jentsje Popma - artist with a mission"

On Wednesday, June 30, the thousandth visitor could already be welcomed to the Great Church in Leeuwarden. This is barely two weeks after the opening of the exhibition of works by Jentsje Popma.

The thousandth visitor is Mrs. Rigt Struiksma from Leeuwarden. She is a member of the Jacobijner district congregation and has been a member of the church council for many years. Coincidentally, her grandson Erik Struiksma now lives in one of the apartments in Jentsje Popma's former studio on Potmargewal.
