BAU!hall in St. GeOrgel: Open Studio for Wood, Ideas, and the City
On June 9, 2026, the BAU!hall in St. GeOrgel in Gelsenkirchen opens as a free open studio. Between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM, an art experience is created here that connects craftsmanship, experimentation, and collective design. The focus is on various artistic projects with wood, which visitors can not only observe but actively develop.

Wood as Material, Space, and Invitation
The work with wood shapes the unique exhibition atmosphere of this format: the material conveys warmth, structure, and resistance, while the open studio character directs attention to processes instead of finished objects. The aesthetic experience of this event lies precisely in the emergence, experimentation, and collective rethinking. GeOrgel describes itself as a cooperative production platform, supported by Stefan Demming and enlivened by other contributors on site. ([georgel.me](https://georgel.me/das-team/))
Between Art Mediation and Participation
BAU!hall is not a traditional museum format, but a participatory workshop with a clear cultural education perspective. Those who visit experience art as an open practice: ideas become visible, materials are tested, and from individual actions, a common work context emerges. This form of curation is what makes the place appealing. The project is part of St. GeOrgel at Bochumer Straße 150 in Gelsenkirchen. ([georgel.me](https://georgel.me/das-team/))
