Atmosphere between workshop, stage, and exhibition

The event atmosphere thrives on the proximity to the works themselves. Those who walk through the rooms sense the special mix of concentrated presentation, open conversation, and curious audience mood. Short tours, barrier-free tours, and initial consultations for prospective students make the exhibition an informative event with a clear target audience focus.

Location with art college tradition

HBK Braunschweig is among the leading art colleges in Germany and is the only state art college in Lower Saxony. Its history dates back to predecessor institutions as early as 1790, with the current college being established in its present form in 1978. This gives the exhibition a special authority and makes visiting it equally exciting for art enthusiasts, prospective students, and culture seekers.
