In 2025, the Altmark will be the focus of networking in the BBK Saxony-Anhalt. We want to exchange ideas with as many people and organizations as possible who are committed to art and culture. We launched the “Region in Focus” format three years ago. We started in Dessau-Roßlau (2022) and continued with the state capital Magdeburg (2023) and the district of Harz (2024).
In 2025, we will finally focus on the Altmark region (Altmarkkreis Salzwedel and the district of Stendal). Numerous visual artists live here, including 10 of our members (see filter option by district), and we are committed to their professional conditions. This is where we met for our general meeting in May (Stendal Music and Art School), this is where we will be showing our new member exhibition “generell frisch” (generally fresh) in the fall (Kunsthaus Salzwedel) and this is also where we would like to hold our admission meeting in October. A highlight of the format is the personal exchange with people in the region who are passionate about art and culture but whom we have not yet met or with whom we have not yet found time for an in-depth exchange: in other words, with you!
The plan is to get to know each other and to sound out the region’s strengths and possibly also deficits with regard to the visual arts. First, the BBK board and management will present its concerns and projects. This will be followed by a round of introductions, during which participants will be asked to give their own perspective on cultural and, in particular, artistic life in the Altmark. From this round, we would like to derive fields of action for us as an association and arrange more intensive cooperation with individual actors. We would be delighted to welcome as many stakeholders from the arts, politics and administration as possible to the meeting.
We would be very pleased if you could register in advance, if possible by September 15, 2025, at so that we can plan better and provide you with specific information on how to get there and what to do!
