The building of the gallery was conceived in 1962 together with the new building of the adult education center in Hanover (VHS) by the building department of the city of Hanover and designed by Alfred Müller-Hoppe . In 1965 it was completed as a two-story, free-standing extension to the VHS.

Exhibition program

Eight current exhibitions are shown each year. The selection is made by a municipal committee after the artists have applied with an exhibition concept.

A special focus is the cooperation with the partner cities of Hanover: Artists from Poznań (Poland), Hiroshima (Japan), Perpignan and Rouen (France) and Bristol (Great Britain) are invited to create a joint exhibition concept together with Hanoverian artists. In this way, visitors get an insight into the current art movement in the respective countries.
