Art Education - Kunstpalais Erlangen

Art Education ― alive and diverse

We want to rouse interest and generate excitement for contemporary art in children, teenagers, adults, and families! For this exact purpose, the art education department of the Kunstpalais offers a diversified accompanying program for each of our exhibitions—depending on the occasion, exhibition, and content of the art.

Would you like to book an offer? Use this form and get in touch with us!

Our extensive program includes guided tours, art talks, practical workshops, lectures, artists’ workshops, movie nights, and activities for all visitors from age 0 to 100. Targeted programs, interactive and open structures allow for a diverse approach to art and adjustments to the individual’s needs.

For educational institutions like schools, kindergartens, day care centers, and study groups the educational department of the Kunstpalais develops guided tours and workshops for each exhibition that are coordinated with the individual syllabus. This way the contact between contemporary art and school is facilitated.

Do you have any suggestions or specific ideas for your own projects at Kunstpalais? We are looking forward to hearing your ideas and wishes.

Gladly we will introduce you to our different programs and we are looking forward to hearing your questions and seeing you registrations! In our event calendar, you can check when an event will take place.

Would you like to convey teaching content through the experience of an art experience? Are you interested in an exciting cooperation with the Kunstpalais? Here is an opportunity to teach contemporary art at an extracurricular learning venue.

In line with the exhibitions, the art education department develops educational programs tailored to the curriculum for schools and educational institutions such as schools, kindergartens, after-school programs and study groups. In doing so, workshops and guided tours offer connections to topics that relate to the experiential world of children and young people.

Our offer includes workshops and guided tours. The workshops combine a preparatory theoretical and subsequent practical part, in which the works of art in the exhibition are prepared in a way that is suitable for children and age groups. The children's and young people's individual experiences are then used to produce creative works in the Kunstpalais studio that can be taken home.

The program for schools and educational institutions is aimed at all children and young people aged 3-20, regardless of school type or institution. We also offer inclusive programs and services for children and young people with disabilities. If you have any wishes or suggestions regarding specific topics, please contact us at any time! We will be happy to develop offers specifically tailored to your needs and learning content.

Please allow approximately two weeks for us to process your request. Contact us with your desired date using the following form.

We currently offer workshops with a length of 120 minutes. We are happy to accommodate you if you need to leave a few minutes earlier.
