On 31 July, a special Miffy Suite will be opened at Grand Hotel Karel V in Utrecht by illustrators Ingrid and Dieter Schubert, who created the statue La Muze for the Miffy Art Parade. Their statue has been on display at the hotel’s entrance since 1 May. The artists said the following about their statue: “Miffy has an iconographic significance for us, which is why we decided not paint or change her completely. Instead, we have opted to give her body paint that accentuates her familiar features.” At 13.30, Ingrid and Dieter will officially open the Miffy Suite by placing a replica of their statue in the suite. This will be followed by meet & greet where the artists will autograph replicas of their Miffy statue, which will also be on sale at the opening. Entrance is free of charge and those who attend the event stand a chance of winning an overnight stay in the suite. |
