Culture house De Scharbiellie is the place to be to discover art. A varied programme of exhibitions with different themes is offered annually and for all ages!
By the way, did you know that the name of the building 'Scharbiellie' refers to the local history? Kasteelstraat used to be called ‘Scharbielliedreve’ because the street was paved with the sieved ashes (scharbielje) from the coal stoves.
What is het 'Cultural house De Scharbiellie'?
Cultural House De Scharbiellie is the ideal location to present art to the general public. As a local artist you might want to participate in our exhibition ‘Kunst van Eigen Kweek’ (Art of Our Own Culture) or maybe your little one has caught the art bug and you will see their work exhibited at the Westhoek Academy exhibition? Learn more about the history of De Panne or visit a beautiful photo exhibition. Keep an eye on the agenda and find out what fascinating exhibitions are on offer.
