Art Association of the Heinsberg region
The Kunstverein Region Heinsberg is a German art association that was founded in Heinsberg in 1985 and has held several exhibitions on contemporary art every year since then .
history
The art association started its exhibition activities in a small photo gallery on Hochstrasse in Heinsberg. In 1997 he moved to the "Horster Hof" in Heinsberg- Unterbruch . This old square courtyard, documented since 1296, is located outside the city in the picturesque Lower Rhine landscape . The former barn was converted into exhibition rooms and the gate entrance was glazed to allow enough light to enter the rooms.
More than 200 exhibitions with contemporary artists from the fields of painting , photography , sculpture , installation and new media were realized. Since 1997, the Kunstverein brings to every show (up to eight exhibitions per year) an edition out in small numbers. The art association is a member of the working group of German art associations and sees its task in the voluntary promotion of regional and national contemporary art and in the promotion of not yet established artists. The art association is presented as a cultural enrichment in the portal “Freizeit Region Heinsberg” as follows: “Exhibitions by established artists in the fields of contemporary art (photography, painting, sculpture and video art) attract lovers of modern art from near and far. Innovative artistic approaches by young artists as well as established artists shape the program of the art association. The aim is to present contemporary art through exhibitions, guided tours, lectures and excursions and to bring it closer to the viewer. "
