When wire and plaster become a symbol of networking
The Workshop Mushrooms – Network of the Forest invites you to create imaginative mushrooms from wire, plaster, and paint. These do not only grow as individual art objects, but become part of a participatory installation, where roots, connections, and creative traces come together to form a shared image of the forest. Thus, an afternoon turns into an experiential event with strong audience atmosphere. ([bundgelsenkirchenerkuenstler.de](https://bundgelsenkirchenerkuenstler.de/szeniale-2026-bgk))

The domicile at Bergmannstraße 53 is not only an exhibition venue but also a lively meeting point for workshops, art discussions, and projects.
