Künstlerhaus Dortmund

Kuenstlerhaus Dortmund is a self-organized non profit studio and exhibition space for contemporary art. It is based on the voluntary work of its members and supported by public grants from the city of Dortmund. Since 1983, it has been actively involved in the cultural life of the city.
Kuenstlerhaus Dortmund is a place for all kinds of contemporary visual arts: Painting, sculpture, graphics as well as photography, film, video,installation and new media. This scope of artistic discipline can be found in the members work, as well as in the thematic group exhibitions, which are curated by Kuenstlerhaus members and feature domestic and international artists from around the world. With a focus on contemporary and experimental work, the Kuenstlerhaus is unique in supporting young and emerging artists. This enriches the cultural landscape of Dortmund, which consists of museums and commercial galleries that mostly feature solo exhibitions.
The Kuenstlerhaus creates a free space for the arts, offers optimum working conditions for artists from Germany and abroad, and attempts to reach the interested public through direct and personal mediation.
