7 April 2024: Opening of the first museum of art of children from Angeln and South Jutland
An initiative of the association KUNST FÜR ANGELN
The first museum of Art by and for children from Angeln and South Jutland, presented and made possible by the Association of KUNST FÜR ANGELN, has been opened since April 7!
An idea became reality: The association KUNST FÜR ANGELN e.V.regularly lends original works of art from the ROOSEN-TRINKS collection to primary schools and – since the beginning of 2024 – also to kindergartens in Angeln and Jutland. The loans are regarded as inspiration for the children to create their own works of art in workshops – whether as drawing, painting, sculpture or collage, the children are given free rein. The results of the workshops have been presented to the public by the association KUNST FÜR ANGELN e.V., at the WITTKIELHOF in the KINDER KUNST CLUB ANGELN in a building on over 130sqm on 7 April 2024. Over 100 children aged 3 – 6 years from the day care centres of the ev. Kita-Werk in Gelting, Scheggerott and Flensburg and from Sønderborg have created over 120 works of art since January!
On April 7th the premiere of the first vernissage with children’s Art from day care centers in Angeln and Jutland took place.
The children brought with them adults of their choice.
9-year-old Clara and 11-year-old Armin – heads of the KINDER KUNST CLUB ANGELN guided the adults through the children’s art exhibition.
A very special vernissage!

OPENING OF THE CHILDREN’S ART CLUB
The association KUNST FÜR ANGELN also took the World Children’s Day 2023 as an opportunity to found the CHILDREN’S ART CLUB ANGELN!
This year’s World Children’s Day on 20 September 2023 was under the motto Every child needs a future! “The association KUNST FÜR ANGELN extended this motto by “Every child needs access to art”. Therefore, the club started its 4th workshop for children on Sunday, after World Children’s Day, on 24.9.23. This time with the Schleswig-Holstein artist Malte Urbschat! Children between 5 and 14 years created their version, their interpretation of works of art by Malte Urbschat together with the artist as part of the exhibition “Mondwald und der unglaubliche Mai – 50 Years Collection Roosen-Trinks”.
As always, participation in the workshop was free of charge.

CHILDREN’S WORKSHOP WITH MALTE URBSCHAT
SEPTEMBER 2023
ART FOR CHILDREN – CONCEPT:
STATUS:
In the northernmost part of Schleswig-Holstein, on the Angeln peninsula, between the Schlei and the Danish border, there is no private art collection that is open to the public. Neither for students nor for adults or for children, with private art tours, without admission, in a private, rural setting. To change this, the association KUNST FÜR ANGELN e.V., which brought the collection ROOSEN-TRINKS from Berlin to the Wittkielhof in Anglia, offers programs for everyone – but especially for children.
THE IDEA:
The ROOSEN-TRINKS collection consists of more than 500 works of contemporary art – from sculptures and collages, videos, installations, photographs to classical painting: artists which the collector Ingrid Roosen-Trinks knows almost everyone personally and with whom she has been close friends for years. This situation offers the best conditions to enable children, with the help of artists, to access works of art in a playful, uncomplicated and cheerful way. HOW? By means of workshops in which artists personally explain their works in the collection and in which they encourage the children to draw or reproduce these artworks together.
In addition, the children are inspired – under the guidance of the artist present – to create their own works of art. The workshops usually start on Sundays at 12:00, last about 2 hours and consist of 8 -12 children between 5 and 14 years, together with the artist, the collector Ingrid Roosen-Trinks and the educator Christa Fricke from Angeln.
All works created in the workshops will be exhibited by the children in a specially created art space on the Wittkielhof (planned).
For the exhibitions of the children’s artwork:
• Children design the invitation cards
• They invite children other than guests
• Children determine the hanging or installation of children’s works of art (curators)
• Children guide the guests, visitors, art lovers, press representatives personally through the exhibition
• They announce the dates of future workshops to children
• Children will be planning the workshops for the coming years
• Children will design flyers/brochures for the upcoming workshops.
Through these program offers, paths are shown through which children get a playful access to art. In this way, bridges can be built to other generations, because the view of children can also help adults to better understand art. The childlike view opens – especially for adults – new worlds and creates other narrative levels and thus gives new perspectives on our everyday life and on life itself. The unbiased, often surprising and unsolicited questions and comments of the children can give a completely new view of existing works of art. Ingrid Roosen-Trinks is always enthusiastic and inspired when she hears reactions like those of an 8-year-old: He said he believes he will one day become an artist, because art is so full of secrets. Then you realize how much art can change. And what an enrichment it is – especially for adults – to let children interpret the art!
We plan to offer at least 2 workshops per year.
