Art

Initiator Angelika Diekmann

Once a year, we turn the Media Centre in Passau into a gallery under the motto "Menschen in Europa". We started out into Europe from Passau, and now we are bringing Europe back to Passau - in the form of leading artists from the countries in which we operate.
Since 1996, we have been displaying major European art each year amidst the modern architecture of the Atrium. Not only in the form of pictures: concerts, culinary delights, lectures and poetry readings all offer a comprehensive insight into the culture of the respective guest country.
It is an example of and a plea for a Europe without borders, as free of borders as art has always been.
