When lines become thoughts
The evening aims for a calm, focused event experience: Through lines, drawings, and words, awareness of what is present will emerge. It is precisely in this that the special event atmosphere of this workshop lies: not a loud stage, but concentrated presence, collaborative work, and a creative exchange that transforms observation into design.

A place with art-historical continuity
The BGK residence at Bergmannstraße 53 is part of an institution that has been an integral part of Gelsenkirchen's cultural life since 1950. The association considers itself a cross-disciplinary, non-profit artist community with over 40 members from painting, graphics, photography, sculpture, literature, music, and dance. This breadth also shapes the local event planning and makes the workshop a credible part of a vibrant artistic context.

Participation instead of distance
The project weeks for Scene 2026 consciously focus on participation and addressing target groups beyond classic exhibition formats. The residence becomes an open space for citizens, artists, and guests who want to not only observe art but actively shape it. Those interested in literature, drawing, and interdisciplinary workshops will find a compact, inspiring format here with clear added value for their own creative practice.
