Schoonveld Family

Free

Cousin Ed (son of Sjouk) and Mattie (the artist duo Vroegop/Schoonveld) organized the SOUPSHOW in October and November 2023 and gave thousands of visitors to the Grand Theater a free bowl of soup, bread, lectures, and music. After Mattie's passing away, Ed is taking on new projects. Now Ed (still under the name Vroegop/Schoonveld) is organizing on Sunday, September 14, “Voor niets” at the Grand Theatre on the Grote Markt in Groningen.
