ART EVENINGS on Wednesday evening. Students as art outreach specialists

Four times per year on an Art Evening, students of art history greet other students and young persons at the Kunstmuseum Bonn in order to enter into dialogue with them and, with the help fo various methods of art outreach, to accompany them in a tour of the permanent collection as well as of the current temporary exhibitions. For everyone who likes to be entertained, surprised, involved and provided with knowledge.

Entrance is free for students. All other visitors are likewise welcome; for them, the standard museum admission fee applies.

ART EVENING—In Focus

This series of program events is directed exclusively to students and young adults. It offers a platform for getting to know the collection, the different working areas and the current exhibitions as well as for engaging in discussions about art.

Direction: Anna Niehoff, M.A.

With generous support from the Verein der Freunde des Kunstmuseums Bonn e.V. as well as in collaboration with the Art Historical Institute of Bonn University.

We use the museum and its artworks for inspiration and to sharpen our eye before drawing in front of the model. We will practise discovering the human body through drawing and developing our own personal style of expression. Perspectives, drawing materials and themes will vary.

Please bring pencils or chalks and a drawing pad (A3 or A2). If you don’t have any drawing materials, you can also use the museum’s materials once (5 euros).

Art offers inspiration, touches the heart and stimulates discussions. A walk through the collection presentation and temporary exhibitions awakens a desire to create art oneself. Waiting for you in the studio is an extensive selection of artistic materials which, under helpful supervision, will set your ideas soaring into realization. Previous knowledge is not required; simply trust your intuitions. Stop by and participate!

During our walk through the museum, we go together with you on a journey to art and to the colors, after which there is an opportunity for you to create your own picture.

You will share relaxing experiences. Let yourself be inspired and discover your creative power. Art will offer you the gifts of joy, a sense of well-being and new experiences. You can take your own works of art home with you.

Would you like to receive regular monthly invitations?
We would be pleased to include you in our mailing list:

We as humans are social beings. We need contact, closeness and interaction with the people around us. Recent years have shown how much restrictions on social life weigh on us. How can we address feelings of loneliness and cope appropriately?

This is exactly what we intend to do with this series of workshops: We want to create a space in which belonging, communal exchange and moments of connection can arise. The workshops are aimed at all people who want to be creative together with art, movement, words and various materials. We give impulses to unfold one’s own creativity or to let it merge into joint works like a mosaic.

All are welcome! Registration is not required

Wednesdays, 5:30 to 7:00 p. m.
