About the artwork

The A in Groningen is a historic waterway that runs through the heart of the city and is known for its picturesque appearance and characteristic ships. The A was once Groningen's main trade route, connecting the city to the sea. Along the banks of this canal are beautiful old warehouses and canal houses, recalling the city's rich trading history.

Today, the A offers a charming and authentic picture of Groningen's past, with classic ships moored in the harbour. Many of these ships are former cargo ships that now serve as houseboats or museum vessels. The presence of these ships adds to the historical atmosphere of the area, attracting many visitors and photographers every year.

The area around the A is a lively place, where the past and the present come together. The old warehouses have been transformed into modern flats, restaurants and cafés, while the ships in the harbour remain as a reminder of the days when Groningen was a thriving trading town. During events such as the annual WinterWelVaart festival, this historical heritage is put in the extra spotlight, with illuminated ships and cultural activities along the quays.

For photographers, the A is a unique location where the beauty of the water, the historic ships and the city's architecture come together. It offers a range of opportunities to capture the atmosphere of Groningen in both everyday life and during special events.
