“If people cannot come to the art, we bring the art to the people!”
– this is the credo of the association KUNST FÜR ANGELN, founded 5 years ago by the collector Ingrid Roosen-Trinks. Since then, she has enriched Germany’s northernmost region with several exhibitions each year.

Something extraordinary is taking shape in the heart of Angeln…

For five years, KUNST FÜR ANGELN has been dedicated to discovering, supporting, and showcasing the remarkable talent of young artists from the Danish–Schleswig-Holstein border region as part of the Collection ROOSEN-TRINKS. As the association prepares to celebrate its 5th anniversary in 2027, an exciting new chapter is about to begin.

A new home. A new vision. A new stage for inspiring contemporary art.

The association is moving into the very heart of the Angeln region, where an unexpected new exhibition venue will become the future home of its growing collection and annual exhibitions. Visitors can look forward to an inspiring space where the most outstanding works by emerging regional artists will be presented in an entirely new setting.

But where will this new cultural landmark be?

The answer is closer than you think—and it promises to surprise everyone who has followed the journey of KUNST FÜR ANGELN.

The official unveiling is coming soon. Stay tuned… because this is only the beginning.

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.
