In addition to this, he became Director of the Art School Vredeman de Vries, Leeuwarden ( 1962 – 1964 ) with a focus on raising the quality of education.

The social recognition of his work was manifested with the prizes Mention of Honnor, Prix Europe de peinture, Oostende ( 1962 ) and Frisiana Award, Leeuwarden ( 1963 ), as well as with the job appointments at the Municipal Museum The Hague as member of educational staff ( 1966 ) and at the Van Abbemuseum Eindhoven in charge of the Educational and Public Relations Department ( 1966 – 1967 ).
