Inspired by the motto of this year's Rhineland-Palatinate Cultural Summer, "Forever Young?", the Schönecker Kulturkreis's three-part exhibition series is titled "Artist Generations." Art by and for young and old will be on display from May to October at the familiar four stations of the Schönecker Art Trail. More than twenty international exhibitors, born between 1940 and 2020, represent very different artistic positions: an art pile-up that invites controversial discussions. The artists will personally address these discussions at the respective exhibition openings from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Participating artists: Uta Arnhardt, Eppenbrunn (Rhineland-Palatinate), Ann Dewitte, Antwerp (Berne) and Weidenbach (Rhineland-Palatinate), Chantal Hardy, Thimister (Berne), Petra Hill, Nimshuscheid (Rhineland-Palatinate), Mélanie Humbert, Luxembourg (Lorraine), Myrtille Ratajczak, Rouvroy (France), and Hedda Wilms, Zweibrücken (Rhineland-Palatinate). Exhibition venues: Altes Amt, Alter Markt 1; Blaue Galerie, Berliner Straße 1; Burgkapelle am Burg- und Kapellenstieg and Thomé Handweberei, Hinter Isabellen 36. Admission is free. Open on Sunday, August 31, 2025, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. with artist talks. From September 1 to October 12, 2025, registration/opening hours: Exhibitions can be viewed daily by appointment (phone +49 6553-3389). The Arts & Crafts Action Days will take place from 3 to 5 October 2025, from 2 to 5 p.m.
