On September 12th Kunsthalle Mainz invites you to celebrate friendship.
With a grand celebration in and around the Kunsthalle Mainz, we are celebrating the connections we have forged with the local community over the 18 years since the Kunsthalle was founded. Everyone is invited—from visitors to our past 59 exhibitions to neighbors and colleagues, as well as the countless educational institutions (from daycare centers to universities), cultural and social institutions, associations, and clubs in and around Mainz with whom we have collaborated over the years. It is an open invitation to celebrate existing relationships, foster new connections, and experience community as an open, vibrant process.

This workshop invites participants to explore friendship through art: as a feeling, as a structure, as a trace. Drawing serves as the initial point of entry, whilst ceramics act as a second, more physical interpretation. The current exhibition will be actively incorporated and used as a source of inspiration. The closeness, distance, time and timelessness of friendships will be explored and given physical form. Somewhere between observation and free interpretation, individual works will emerge on the themes of friendship, friends and connections.
Course comprising 2 sessions each:
Fri 04/09 + 18/09
Fri 02/10 + 16/10
