Kunst für Angeln presents:
The Kids are the Stars!
Art meets child – and something completely new is created.
Welcome to an extraordinary art project that focuses on the creative expressiveness of children. In collaboration with artists from the Roosen-Trinks collection, they created impressive, personal works – not replicas, but free interpretations made within our workshops with children aged 3 – 14.

Ingrid Roosen-Trinks has enriched the Berlin art and cultural scene for 15 years with her collection of contemporary art – and especially through her OPEN HOUSE events. Since 2022, she has been curating major exhibitions on various topics at the Wittkielhof, which she discovered during her excursions through the region in northern Schleswig-Holstein. In addition, she invites children to workshops that take place on-site and at day care centres and schools in the region. Templates are original works of art from the collection. The kids’ creative results are remarkable, surprising and definitely worth seeing! And that’s worth an XXL exhibition!
Look forward to the next opening: Sunday, September 28, 2025 at 2:00 pm, “The Kids are the Stars!”, 400 works of art by children between 3 and 14 years, on 400 sqm exhibition space!
The largest children’s art exhibition in Germany!
Plus a book! Plus action painting! Plus live music of the student band La “Banda Viktoria”! Plus guided tour with Clara (9) and Armin(11), who accompany the visitors through the exhibition!
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.
CHILDREN’S WORKSHOPS
