The Ahrenshoop Kunstkaten is an exhibition and events house managed by the Ahrenshoop tourist office and is one of the oldest galleries in Northern Germany. Throughout the year, visitors enjoy the changing exhibitions about the artists’ colony of Ahrenshoop, the subsequent generations of artists, all the way to the art of the present day.
From Barbizon to the Baltic: See how naturalistic painting came to northern Germany.
The house has had a fine arrangement of regional literature for over 90 years, a cultural meeting place for artists and fans of art.
The unspoilt Dornenhaus, built in 1660, has always been a popular motif for painters and photographers. It also houses the pottery for the traditional Fischland ceramics made by Friedemann Löber.
The Galerie Alte Schule showcases works from the portfolio of Ahrenshooper Kunstauktionen GmbH. Changing exhibitions: works from the artists’ colony from the beginning of the 20th century, classical modernism and contemporary art.
Focus: old handicrafts in a modern household – the complete riches of bygone cultures representing 15 countries from Morocco to Eastern Europe.
The gallery, which has been operating in Ahrenshoop for 21 years, has been using its newly designed exhibition rooms on the first floor of The Grand since 2017.
The traditional Künstlerhaus Lukas is a place for artistic work and international encounters. It supports professional artists in the fields of visual arts, literature, dance, composition and curators by awarding residency grants.
The New Art Museum (“Neues Kunsthaus”) Ahrenshoop is committed to presenting the work of the fellows of the Künstlerhaus Lukas, within the context of Northern Europe.
A gallery for the ears with a small concert hall, music studio and visitor area
Büdnerei B14 is the former home of the famous German sculptor, draftsman and graphic artist Gerhard Marcks.
