Art Education
Experience, Engage, Create
The Göttinger Kunstverein’s art education program is led by a team of artists, art educators, and art historians. Our diverse range of educational offerings provides opportunities to engage with art on various levels and participate in contemporary discourse. Our interactive formats are designed for anyone interested: children, teens, and adults; individuals and groups; and both novices and experts.
We offer introductory and in-depth tours in German and English for each of the Kunstverein’s exhibitions. The focus of the tour—both in terms of methodology and content—can be tailored to your needs upon request.
Discussions with the exhibiting artists are also part of our educational program. Information about artist talks can be found under “Events.”
For groups of 5 to 20 people, we offer programs that allow participants to engage in creative activities on their own. These include two-hour workshops as well as three- to five-day project weeks.
Our tours and workshops are free of charge for all daycare centers and schools.
In the “Archive,” you can get a sense of our work and an overview of our past programs!

Podcast
,Art & Education’ is a digital education project of the Göttinger Kunstverein. In this podcast, Johanna Brummack talks to the exhibiting artists about their current shows and the processes and politics behind: Which works were selected and why? Which artistic processes are not visible in the exhibition? Where do the artists start when they begin a new project? To what extent is the mediation of the work considered in the production process?
EPISODE#1
This episode is about Silvia Noronha’s exhibition “the breath below”, which took place at the Göttinger Kunstverein from 14.1. – 20.2.2022. We talk about learning from and with materials, about science fiction and speculative geology.
EPISODE#2
In the second episode of Art & Education, Vincent Schier, the curator of the Kunstverein talks about the planning and organizational processes behind the 2022 program. We also talk about emotional sustainability in the cultural sector and what role collaborations play in Vincent’s approach as a curator.
In the 3rd episode of “Art & Education” I talk to Ellen Martine Heuser about her exhibition “Not a civilzation, but you,”, which was on view at the Kunstverein Göttingen from April 29 – June 12. The artist gives an overview of the individual works in the exhibition and talks about her exploration of sculpture, body and sound. We also talk about the importance of monumentality and vulnerability for human civilizations and how the artist brings both concepts together.
In this episode, two of the six artistic positions from the group exhibition I DON’T WORK ON WEEKENDS! are presented. The exhibition, curated by Vincent Schier, took place between June 27 and August 14 at the Kunstverein Göttingen and critically examines working conditions based on the art and culture industry.
