On 12th of September the Kunsthalle Mainz invites you to a celebration of 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.
In front of the Kunsthalle, various booths will feature handicrafts, creative works, and hands-on activities. The Kunsthalle team has put together a special creative program for children that encourages them to get creative. Guided tours of the current exhibition *Freund*innenschaft* will be offered in German, Ukrainian, and for families.
As part of the festival, there will be a large communal picnic for families. We’ll wrap up the evening together with music and drinks.
