Arts and crafts

Over the past few years, a number of practising artists and craftsmen, several of them professional, have settled in Southwest Zealand.

Its beautiful location by the long, often untouched, stretches of coast and the bright light may help to explain why so many have chosen this area in particular; several of the artists use the sea and the light as inspiration in their art.
