Open Studio in Gelsenkirchen: Experience art, engage in conversation, and create yourself

On October 25, 2026, the Open Studio at the former kiosk on Bochumer Straße 96 will open its doors. Between project space, studio, and urban change, an immediate art experience emerges that connects observation and personal engagement. Visitors can view art, engage in conversation, and shape small objects from clay.

An open space for aesthetic experience

The Open Studio sees itself as a low-threshold place for encounter. The exhibition atmosphere thrives not on distance, but on closeness: artworks, materials, conversations, and the visible development of the place enter into direct exchange. The former kiosk becomes a temporary project space where the viewing of works and creative participation intertwine.

Clay, hands, and the language of forms

A special invitation is extended to everyone who wishes to engage in creative activities themselves. Small clay works provide a sensual access to art. The material responds to pressure, movement, and touch; from a shapeless mass, individual traces, volumes, and surfaces emerge. This practical experience makes central aspects of sculpture and plastic work directly tangible.

Art in the neighborhood

The venue at Bochumer Straße 96 stands for a vibrant connection of art, urban development, and community. As a project space and producer gallery, the place provides room for changing artistic formats. The Open Studio builds upon this idea: art appears as a social process, as a reason for conversation, and as part of public life.

Cultural education without barriers

The format combines cultural education with open, personal encounters. Prior knowledge is not required. Visitors experience art not only as a finished work but also as a process of seeing, questioning, forming, and exchanging. This creates an accessible aesthetic experience for art enthusiasts, families, and curious city dwellers.

Conclusion: A Sunday afternoon for art and encounters

The Open Studio promises a relaxed yet stimulating art experience with conversations, plastic work, and insights into a special project space. Those who wish to experience art not just by observing but also with their own hands and thoughts should visit this free afternoon live in Gelsenkirchen.
