STORY
After graduating from the Willem de Kooning Academy in 2004 Bikkel got an empty boat at the Wijnhaven of Rotterdam offered from 1000 m2. Bikkel makes many and substantial works, both 2d and 3d. But 1000 m2 is too much to put filled by herself. That's why she invited artist friends to join to make good exhibitions together at this boat, from 2004 till 2007. During this period ten yellow flags on this boat waved with the logo of Galerie Kunst aan de Kade.  The name Kunst aan de Kade means Art at Wharf.
 

In 2007 the boat was renovated into a hotel and Gallery Kunst aan de Kade moved toward the brand built Coopvaert skyscraper on Blaak opposite the Maritime Museum. The name (Art) Gallery Kunst aan de Kade is maintained. But the Gallery is now embedded in warm restaurant Coopvaert. Here Bikkel organizes quarterly national - and international, and Biennale exhibitions. The restaurant has a number of different owners. At the turn of the current owner, with the restaurant name changed in Fjord, Bikkel receive an invitation from the owner of Grand Café Verderop in Delft to start a gallery Rotterdam's concept here.

Gallery Kunst aan de Kade now has two addresses: one in Rotterdam, Blaak 776. And one in Delft Westvest 9. Location Rotterdam is in 2014 the place for solo exhibitions Bikkel. Delft continues to be the place where quarterly exhibitions are organized by Bikkel. Over the years, many national and international artists,  Bikkel offered a stage to show. And they become Bikkel’s art friends.
Bikkel is very proud of the 40 exhibits that she organized. During the course of these 10 years she is pleased with the many friendships with the exhibiting artists arising from them. She is happy with the pleasant cooperation with the current owners of Verderop and Fjord. And she is grateful that over the years, many celebrities have opened the Exhibitions.
