A workshop that tangibly connects art and nature
On September 2, 2026, the domicile of the Association of Gelsenkirchen Artists opens its doors for a workshop that transforms ideas into visible connections. The focus is on the installation The Forest, which is created as part of the Szeniale 2026 and makes the relationship between people and trees perceptible in a poetic way. Participation is free of charge and is aimed at all who appreciate creative processes, participation, and artistic encounters.
When Braids Create an Atmosphere
Around the project weeks, a space grows where vines, braids, and connecting structures become more than material. They tell of closeness and distance, isolation and community, of an artistic process that is not only shown but also developed together. This is precisely where the special event atmosphere of this workshop lies: Those who participate here experience art as a living dialogue.
Participation Instead of Finished Surface
The BGK relies on an event experience at the Szeniale 2026 that does not remain at a distance. The installation is developed with the participation of the artists of the association as well as with guests. This creates a format that consciously focuses on encounters, creativity, and addressing target groups in event planning. For visitors, this means: not just watching, but becoming part of an open cultural process.
A Place with Artistic History
The domicile at Bergmannstraße 53 has been a stable cultural anchor in Gelsenkirchen-Ückendorf for many years. The Association of Gelsenkirchen Artists was founded in 1950 and is considered a cross-genre, non-profit association with more than 40 members from various art fields. Workshops, exhibitions, and art discussions shape the work of the association and make the house a place with clear cultural authority.
Conclusion: An Afternoon for Everyone Who Wants to Experience Art as an Encounter
This free workshop connects nature imagery, community, and creative co-design into an impressive cultural event. Those who want to experience Gelsenkirchen's art scene live will find here a special access to the Szeniale 2026 and the installation The Forest. Save the date now and witness the artistic creation on-site.
