Kunstverein Hannover

In the location's words:

The Kunstverein Hannover, founded in 1832, is one of the oldest and most important art associations in the German-speaking world. From the very beginning, it has been a place of civic engagement for contemporary art - open to new ideas, beyond institutional constraints. To this day, the Kunstverein supports international and regional artists and offers space for experimentation and discourse. In its home, the Künstlerhaus Hannover, it presents several solo and group exhibitions each year, including the traditional fall exhibition of art from Lower Saxony and Bremen. One highlight is the residency program, which has been offering young artists a place to work and live as well as an exhibition opportunity since 1983. Under the direction of Christoph Platz-Gallus, the Kunstverein is also pursuing new projects such as the "Green Kunstverein" for more sustainability, the "Living Archive" research initiative and the "Academy of Life Experience", which promotes intergenerational artistic encounters. With around 1,500 members and many supporters, the Kunstverein Hannover is a lively platform for contemporary art and cultural exchange.

Barrier removal at the Kunstverein Hannover

For each exhibition, the Kunstverein Hannover develops needs-oriented support, information material and mediation offers to ensure low-barrier access.

The Kunstverein Hannover is embarking on a long-term process to develop options for extensive accessibility. We cordially invite you to participate in this process: Please send your feedback and suggestions by e-mail to Carolin Knüpper at knuepper@kunstverein-hannover.de.
