From May 3 to 17, 2026, OPEN ART invites you to experience contemporary art in unexpected places in Freiburg’s urban space. Artists from the Freiburg region or with a connection to the city will develop works of art in businesses, stores, restaurants, parks and public squares that transform everyday spaces and break up familiar perspectives.
The focus is on the leitmotif of “unavailability” – the fact that not everything in life can be planned, controlled or grasped. OPEN ART makes it possible to experience how art makes the unpredictable, the unexpected and the unavailable visible and thus enables new forms of resonance, amazement and liveliness in the city.
Application deadline: December 15, 2025
