A Quiet Workshop with Great Impact at the BGK Residence

On September 12, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, the residence of the Association of Gelsenkirchen Artists in Ückendorf invites you to a participatory encounter that is part of the Szeniale 2026 and focuses on the artistic view of the present moment. The event is free of charge. ([gelsenkirchen.de](https://www.gelsenkirchen.de/de/_meta/veranstaltungskalender/96992-jetzt-raum-zum-wachsen-workshop-rauschen-der-blaetter?utm_source=openai))
Drawing, Writing, Arriving
The workshop focuses on a concentrated, open event atmosphere: lines on paper, words in the moment and a shared look at what is present now. This is where the quality of this event experience lies. It is not about speed, but about attention, materiality, and the subtle energy of a creative afternoon that engages visitors directly.

A Place with Artistic Identity
The BGK residence at Bergmannstraße 53 has been a stable cultural venue in Gelsenkirchen-Ückendorf for years. The Association of Gelsenkirchen Artists was founded in 1950, views itself as a cross-disciplinary association, and uses the residence for changing exhibitions, projects, and workshops. This creates an approachable framework with cultural depth and a clear target audience: people who want to not only look at art but experience it in the process.

Part of Szeniale 2026
Especially exciting: The workshop is embedded in the participatory project weeks for Szeniale 2026. The BGK transforms its residence into an open space of artistic action power from August 2 to September 27, 2026, and develops a growing, participatory installation together with guests. This adds additional authority to the event and makes it a building block of a larger cultural narrative in the city.

The workshop is aimed at anyone who wants to combine literature, drawing, and creative practice in a relaxed form. Those who enjoy observing, taking notes, creating, and engaging in a conscious, decelerated event experience will find the right setting here. The event thrives on intimacy, artistic exchange, and a clear, low-threshold organization.
