Mayor M. van de Ven of Etten opened the exposition on Saturday the 10th of May, at 10:30 in the morning. After three months of hard work by over 150 students, all ten billboards were completed. Hundreds of people came to see them, especially the parents of the students and the older people. To enlarge the pictures to the size (4 by 5 meters) they should be, an old but good working method was used: the students projected dia's on the boards and drew the outlines on it. Later the students put in the colors. Because mayor van de Ven not only appreciated the work of the students but the team of art teachers the team leader was awarded the official Vincent van Gogh remembrance coin of Etten-Leur. On Tuesday, the 13th of March, the billboards were exposed along the highway, where they got the attention of more then 50,000 car drivers per day.
