One last time, we let the colors literally shine for you at the festive finissage.
Art needs spaces. And people who use them.
For me, the exhibition "Art in Dialogue - When Colors Shine" in the gallery of the Heimatgeschichtsverein Velgast e.V. was more than just a presentation of pictures.
It was a sign.
A sign that regional art is alive.
That people are willing to get involved.
That even small places can develop great cultural power.
Many visitors have come over the past few weeks. People have discussed, asked questions and marveled.
Four school classes visited the exhibition as part of a project day - and showed how open young people are to art if you take them seriously.
That is exactly the point:
Art must not just be consumed.
It must be experienced, questioned and discussed.
This exhibition ends with the finissage on 20.03.2026 at 17:00.
And yes - this is a conclusion.
But it is also a statement:
Culture doesn't happen on its own.
It is created when people come.
When they stay.
When they allow themselves to be touched.
I cordially invite you to be part of it.

Art is not a luxury.
It is an encounter.
And encounter begins with a step through the door.
