Kunsthalle in der KulturBäckerei

In the location's words:

In 2014, the former industrial bakery on Schützenplatz in Lüneburg, built in the 1930s, became the KulturBäckerei, a house for art and culture. Twelve studios for visual artists, rooms for the Ikarus art school, a theater hall and a printing workshop with the printing presses of the Rixdorfer Drucke workshop were created. At the heart of the building is the Kunsthalle der Sparkassenstiftung Lüneburg, which has grown steadily over the years and continues to evolve to this day.

Exhibitions by renowned artists of national and international importance are shown on two exhibition levels. In addition to themed special shows, solo and group exhibitions, the museum's own holdings from the art archive in Lüneburg have also been presented in over 50 exhibitions.

Pop culture exhibitions (BRAVO Starschnitt, Grafikstudio HIPGNOSIS, Günther Kieser Plakate) alternate with sophisticated shows of internationally recognized contemporary artists (e.g. Annegret Soltau, Joseph Beuys, Markus Lüpertz or Jörg Immendorff).

The aim of the Kunsthalle is to inspire as many people as possible for art with a varied program and to make the "exhibition" experience tangible with as few barriers as possible and to reduce fears of thresholds.

The ARTRIUM has also created a space for young German photography. Young talented photographic artists such as Rebecca Sampson, Malte Sänger, Julia Steinigeweg, Sina Niemeyer and Sophie Kirchner have been able to exhibit their highly acclaimed and sometimes socially critical works in the space, which often provoke discourse.
