Art competition – visible 2025:
After a successful start in 2024, we are once again holding an art competition this year. In addition to their “marketable” goods, the participating artists and designers will each bring along an object that draws attention to free artistic work, the creative process or experimental forms of expression. The prize worth 300 euros, donated by Hallesche Wohnungsgesellschaft mbH (HWG), will be awarded publicly on Saturday. A jury consisting of the following persons will decide on the awarding of the prize:
- Dr. Angela Dolgner (art historian, architect and Chairwoman of the Friends and Sponsors of the Moritzburg Art Museum Halle (Saale) e.V.)
- Elfi Nitze (visual artist in the field of painting, collage and object art)
- Paul Scherzer (gallery owner)
Jury Prize: Award ceremony on June 14, 2025 at 2 pm
The Audience Award will also be presented again in 2025. This is endowed with BBK prize money of 150 euros and a free annual membership of the “Friends and Sponsors of the Moritzburg Art Museum” association. All guests at our market are invited to vote for their favorite object. Participation is possible on Sunday until 1 pm.

Thank you!
We would like to thank our almost 2,000 visitors for coming to the visible market 2024. It was a great, albeit very hot weekend, with over 50 artists presenting a high-quality and diverse range of products. Thanks to all exhibitors, our cooperation partners Kulturstiftung Sachsen-Anhalt / Kunstmuseum Moritzburg and Turm e.V., our sponsors – the friends and supporters of the Kunstmuseum Moritzburg and Hallesche Wohnungsgesellschaft mbH -, the group Mientras Tanto for their great musical highlight, our culinary partners – Biolecker, Gaumenschmeicheley, Kaffee & Kohle – and our organizing team Matthias Behne and Kerstin Krieg!
Special object
The new visible prize “The Special Object”, which the BBK Saxony-Anhalt awarded together with the HWG for the first time this year, was presented to Friederike Nottrott on Saturday. The jury – Thomas Bille (cultural journalist), Anne Deuter (book artist and BBK member) and Dr. Angela Dolgner (art historian and chairwoman of the Freunde und Förderer des Kunstmuseums Moritzburg e.V., one of our cooperation partners) – awarded the prize of 300 euros for her work “Friede dem Krieg”, which consists of three parts. She has transformed utensils from the First World War into peaceful objects. Carolin Schulze received an “honorable mention” for jewelry made from many small transparent glass beads that are crocheted onto a cotton thread.
Audience Award
Our new competition “The Special Object” also included an audience award. This was endowed with BBK prize money of 150 euros and a free annual membership of the “Freunde und Förderer des Kunstmuseums Moritzburg” association. The winner was Nicole Müller, who runs her photography label “Frau Müller” in Halle (Saale). She won over the public with a print that was produced using a special photobiological process. Nicole Müller applies a self-produced plant brew to paper and exposes it to light over a long period of time. Similar to a cyanotype – only without environmentally harmful salts – she then applies her image motifs – in this case leaves and flowers – and places the paper in the sun to expose it.

“You always enjoy spending time in the ambience of Moritzburg Castle and the castle moat because of the beautiful flair. The selected range of different types of art and design is very well coordinated, high quality and special, and the organizers also manage to round off the market with culinary and musical delights so that everyone feels at home.”
