KUNSTMARKT Friedrichsrode
Featuring BBK member Dieter Gilfert and many other artists
For over three decades, the KUNSTMARKT has been held on the third Saturday in June in the small half-timbered village of Friedrichsrode between Nordhausen and Mühlhausen in northern Thuringia. For a single day, the entire town, which is then closed to through traffic, is transformed into a colorful promenade and cultural mile. Numerous stalls along the main street and in the side streets invite you to meet and talk to the participating artists and, of course, to buy their works. Most of the courtyards of local artists and residents of Friedrichsrode are also open. The range of artistic disciplines represented at the KUNSTMARKT has always been extremely diverse and now attracts several thousand visitors to the town of 60 souls, including visitors from beyond the region. Music of various genres as well as activities and hands-on offers for children are included in the day’s cultural program as well as special culinary offers and simple gastronomy.
