The Kunstwasserwerk combines exhibition rooms and spaces as well as studios for painters, graphic artists, sculptors and photographers under one roof. The Kunst-Wasser-Werk e. V. association thus enables an excellent re-use of a (partially listed) object of Schwerin's industrial history.
Schwerin artists have found a creative home in the old waterworks in Schwerin-Neumühle: studios, workshops and exhibition spaces are available for them. 9 studios and workshops in the various buildings are currently in permanent use by artists of different genres (painting, sculpture, jewelry, graphics, photography). Artists' groups, workshop participants and painting groups are regular guests at KWW and use the workshop building and the open spaces for creative courses. Exhibitions and events regularly attract an interested public to the premises. Art exhibitions by regional and national artists are regularly held in the gallery rooms in the old main building and the former pump house. Since the opening of the Former Pump House as an exhibition and event hall with a concert by the Schwerin Singakademie, concerts, theater and readings have been held in the Kunstwasserwerk to accompany the exhibitions. From classical chamber music and jazz in the pump house to electro beats as an open-air concert, the association organizes musical highlights on its own or in cooperation with other sponsors.
