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!

Every 14 days we prepare our workroom to suit the needs of our youngest visitors. Various materials for creative experiments are presented and tried out together.

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.

There will be no Open Workshop during summer vacation.

First date after summer vacation:
