Workshops & Courses

The Kunsthalle Mainz wants to give as many people as possible access to contemporary art. The entire exhibition is accessible without steps and we are strive to make all events as barrier-free as possible.

Many offers are also specifically aimed at people with disabilities. If you need assistance, please let us know.

You can find more information about barrier-free access to the Kunsthalle here.

We look forward to your visit!

In light painting, you experiment with light in the dark. When you move flashlights and glow sticks, they leave a trail of light behind them. This lets you “paint” in the dark. With cameras and tripods, you become photographers yourselves. This way, you can capture your light painting, creating an image from the movement of light.

If you move a light source back and forth, it looks as if a trail of light is being created—like a brushstroke. But this only works if the room is otherwise completely dark. You can paint and experiment with different light sources. Afterward, we’ll print out your photographic artworks for you, and you can take them home.

We’ll show you how to transfer a design, cut it out of a plate, and print it on paper.

It’s best if you bring your print design with you to the class. We use rubber printing plates because they’re easier to cut and allow for even more precise details.

Wear clothes that allow you to move freely and that can get dirty.
The course fee includes the cost of materials (rubber plates, printing ink, and paper). There are no additional costs.

Every Thursday the Open Workshop invites you to join in different materials for building, painting and drawing. The Open Workshop is closed on public holidays and vacations. Only children with prior registration can participate.

The Open Workshop is supported by Künste Öffnen Welten from the Bundesvereinigung Kulturelle Kinder- und Jugendbildung and is aimed at children who are growing up in a risky situation. In the Künste Öffnen Welten program, cultural, youth and educational institutions are supported in jointly implementing projects for children and young people in which they can discover the arts, culture, games and media. This strengthens their educational and participation opportunities.
