The planned transition from a hidden church to the cultural venue De Pels is a journey that requires significant time, energy and resources. Alongside grants and loans, we are supported by our Founding Friends and Founding Partners.<\/p>

Our Founding Friends contribute to the project by purchasing traditional Delft Blue tiles.
In return for their support, our friends are not only immortalised with their Delft Blue tiles in the entrance to De Pels but also receive complimentary tickets.
The first 60 tiles have already been sold.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
