Opening on 16 August, 4 pm, Chemnitz City Hall
On Thursday, 16 August at 4 p.m., the award-winning exhibition for the 2018 JugendKunstTriennale will open at Chemnitz City Hall. The award-winning works and the contributions of the regional participants will be on display in the exhibition room. Interested parties are cordially invited to the opening.
For the ninth time, the cities of Zwickau, Plauen, Hof, Bayreuth and Chemnitz have called on their young artists to take part in the art competition with paintings, sculptures, photography, collages or similar works. A total of 193 young people aged between 14 and 25 from the cities of Bayreuth, Hof, Plauen, Zwickau and Chemnitz and their surrounding areas took part in the competition, submitting a total of 305 entries.
56 young people from Chemnitz submitted 88 entries. Of these, 22 works of art were included in the exhibition by a selected jury of experts. Three young artists from Chemnitz, Lisa Kunze, Sophie Lässig and Felix Hammermüller, were awarded recognition prizes totalling 200 euros. The award ceremony and main exhibition took place in March 2018 at the Galerie im Malzhaus in Plauen.
As no theme was specified for this competition, the participants were able to give free rein to their creativity. A wide variety of works in very different formats were submitted: From painting, drawing, sculpture and photography to installations, design objects and textile works.
The Triennial is part of the "Young Art - Recruitment and Promotion of Young Artists" programme of the Saxon-Bavarian City Network. Since the programme began in 1998, almost 4,000 young people have taken part in the largest cultural project of the city network and their creativity and initiative have made the JugendKunstTriennale a success.
The exhibition will be on display until 9 September 2018 in the town hall, Markt 1. It can be visited during the opening hours mentioned. Admission is free.
