history

The Ulm Art Association was founded in 1887 by ten citizens of Ulm. The purpose of the association was to "cultivate the sense of art" and "promote the fine arts". The Kunstverein has been using the Renaissance hall on the first floor of the former shoemaker's guild house, which was built in 1537, since 1973 . Five to six exhibitions take place there every year. The Ulm Art Association today has more than 1,000 members. In 2006 the Kunstverein Ulm was nominated by the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Kunstvereine (ADKV) for the ADKV-ART COLOGNE Prize for Art Associations .
