BAU!halle at St. GeOrgel: Experience Textile Art and Upcycling in Gelsenkirchen

Textile Creativity, Upcycling and Sound Art in the BAUhalle

On July 1, 2026, the BAUhalle at St. GeOrgel in Gelsenkirchen-Ückendorf opens its doors for an open, participatory art experience between textiles, material research, and sound installation. The workshop with Jenny combines practical craftsmanship with aesthetic experience and invites participants to create new forms from used fabrics. The event is free of charge.

A place where material gains history

The BAUhalle serves as an open studio and producer gallery for artistic practice with used materials. Upcycling is at the center; bags, yoga bolsters, or large-format textile works emerge from leftover materials that not only fill the space but also shape its atmosphere. Thus, the exhibition practice itself becomes a process of creation. ([kreativ-quartiere.rvr.ruhr](https://kreativ-quartiere.rvr.ruhr/alle-projekte/projekt-detailseite/bauhalle/))

Textile as a living art form

Under Jenny's guidance, textile design takes center stage. Sewing, joining, reshaping, and reusing open access to contemporary art education, where participation and sustainability come together. Those who participate here experience not just a workshop but a collective form of curation in the making.

Sound space, installation, and neighborhood

The GeOrgel is being newly built and played simultaneously. As a sound installation and event venue, it connects spatial art, music, and social openness. This mixture gives the project a special exhibition atmosphere: minimal in material, rich in resonance, open to surprising encounters. ([georgel.me](https://georgel.me/das-team/))

An offer for everyone curious about culture and craftsmanship

The open workshop is intended for people without prior knowledge. The focus is on shared action, cultural education, and the joy of experimentation. This is exactly where the strength of the project lies: art is not only observed but experienced in the process.

Conclusion

Anyone who wants to experience textile art, upcycling, and site-specific installations will find an unusual, inspiring cultural venue at the BAUhalle. The workshop with Jenny offers the rare opportunity to not only see art but also to actively participate in its creation. A visit is definitely worth it live on site.
