The Kunstverein Weiden was founded in 1993 to help convey contemporary art to the population of the Upper Palatinate . He deepened his neighborly contacts through cross-border partnerships with the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and other art associations in the Czech Republic. Another goal was the joint European youth care in the Bavarian-Bohemian border region. Special emphasis was placed on dealing with the Upper Palatinate world of art and ideas.
In 1999 the Kunstverein Weiden merged with other similar associations and museums to form the cultural cooperative KoOpf Oberpfalz .
