OUTLOOK 2026
In 2026, there will again be various exhibitions and workshops
As always with free admission and no participation fees for workshop participants. Anyone who would like to become a member of the Friends of Kunst für Angeln or support us with a small donation is very welcome to contact me directly.
Art strengthens resilience—whether created oneself or simply through engaging with it. Even just looking at art can give hope, lift the mood, and instill confidence. Engaging with art—actively or passively—should really be prescribed by general practitioners! Until that happens, Kunst für Angeln, with its numerous exhibitions and workshops, will continue to offer free inspiration and genuine enrichment for everyday life.
In 2026, literature will join the arts—our book “The Kids are the Stars” was just the beginning.
But before we take a look at next year’s program, it is worth looking back: 2025 was another highly successful year for Kunst für Angeln. Four impressive exhibitions at Wittkielhof and two creative children’s workshops shaped the annual program. The children were deliberately placed at the center of attention: the major autumn exhibition “The Kids Are the Stars” was dedicated entirely to their works — and also inspired the publication of our association’s very first book.
With these inspirations from 2025, we look ahead with great anticipation to what 2026 will bring… including a new cross-border collaboration, new young talents exhibiting publicly with us for the first time, exciting exclusive programs and activities for the KfA Friends Circle, a first solo exhibition, news from our KfA shop, further developments in our project “Art Against Loneliness,” and updates on the planning of our anniversary celebration “Celebrating KfA – 5 Years of Kunst für Angeln ” — and much more!
EXHIBITIONS
KUNST FÜR ANGELN presents
APRIL 19 – MAY 17 2026: “I AM AN INDOOR PERSON”
Welcome to the world of the Drinnies — people who prefer staying indoors rather than being in the spotlight.
This exhibition invites you on a humorous yet thoughtful journey into the inner world: our spaces, our thoughts, and our digital lives.
Opening & Open House: April 19 | 2:00 p.m.
Finissage & Open House: May 17 | 12:00–5:00 p.m.
APRIL 19 – MAY 17 2026: KIDS ART CLUB EXHIBITION
The non profit association Kunst für Angeln – Art that Inspires!
Since 2022, collector Ingrid Roosen-Trinks has brought contemporary art to the far north of Germany. Her original works – including pieces by Heike Kati Barath – are loaned to schools and kindergartens, inspiring children to create their own art, later shown in public exhibitions by Kunst für Angeln.
Heike Kati Barath, painter and professor in Bremen, is known for her bold, striking portraits of young people and hybrid creatures. Her art challenges us: Who are you? – inviting dialogue and reflection.
From April 2026, Kunst für Angeln will present the children’s artworks as Interpretation of Bharath’s art piece in a special exhibition. Open to public starting April 19, 2026
Art, education, and inspiration – shaping a creative community together!
KUNST FÜR ANGELN means Art for Anglia. Anglia is the name of the northern region of Schleswig-Holstein, where Roosen-Trinks presents twice a year art exhibitions and children projects.
