For 15 years Ingrid Roosen-Trinks enriched Berlin’s art and cultural scene with her collection of contemporary art – and especially with her OPEN HOUSE events. Since 2022 she has been curating large exhibitions on various themes every spring and autumn at the Wittkielhof, which she discovered on her trips through the northern Schleswig-Holstein region. She also invites children to workshops held on site and in local preschools and schools. The starting point is always original artworks from the collection. The children’s creative results are remarkable, surprising, and absolutely worth seeing – worthy of an XXL exhibition!
Look forward to visiting this exceptional children’s art exhibition “The Kids are the Stars!” featuring over 400 artworks by children aged 3–14, across 400 m² of exhibition space.
Some of the works are available for a donation!
We look forward to seeing you!
The last day of the exhibition, the finissage, is
Sunday, October 19, 2025 from 12:00 noon – Open House!
Pick up your book and secure one (or more) of the children’s artworks!
Voluntary donations go to preschools and future workshops with the kids!
THE KIDS ARE THE STARS!
Thus the title of the largest children’s art exhibition in Germany – the only one in the north – from September 28th, 2025! Kunst für Angeln, presents more than 300 creative masterpieces of children between 2 (!) and 14 years old!
We show the results of our loans to day care centres and schools as well as our artist workshops in the autumn exhibition on 400sqm at the WITTKIELHOF.
KATJA RUGE
PHOTOGRAPHY & MUSIC WITH ELECTRIC LIGHTS
Working with Katja Ruge means encountering someone who is both deeply empathetic and highly professional.
“I immediately connect and ally myself with the person in front of me.” As a photographer, she is a collaborator on equal footing, intuitively sensing whether her subject needs an energy boost or gentle guidance.
children’s art club angeln
The latest children’s workshop focused on sculpture and the body, resulting in the creation of wearable sculptures. The children had an enormous amount of fun with the artist Chili Seitz.
PROGRAM 2025
The Association Kunst für Angeln has planned for 2025 many initiatives that want to promote the understanding of art in northern Germany, and this is as always addressed to people of all ages. Exhibitions at the Wittkielhof, art in the castle, workshops and more.
ART COMES TO
KIDS
The association KUNST FÜR ANGELN and the Protestant Kita Werk Schleswig-Holstein will present also 2025 latest works of art from the day care center children from Flensburg, Gelting and Scheggerott: the art comes back to the kindergarten and will inspire children to create their own works of art.
The results will be exhibited in the CHILDREN’S ART CLUB ANGELN at the WITTKIELHOF, Schleswig-Holstein’s only museum for children’s art!
ART AGAINST LONELINESS
The outstanding cross-generational social project in the north will continue in 2025: The association KUNST FÜR ANGELN and senior students from fishing bring seniors from the region out of their isolation by means of ART and experience the current art exhibitions of the association together!
ART IN THE
SCHOOL
KUNST FÜR ANGELN and the Nordlicht-School in Süderbrarup opened on April 26 2023 the second art exhibition with paintings of contemporary art from the ROOSEN-TRINKS Collection.
