9. KÜNSTLERMESSE DRESDEN: Meet the Artist
The annual KÜNSTLERMESSE DRESDEN event is set to take place once again at the Deutsches Hygiene Museum from March 22nd to 24th. This three-day event offers art enthusiasts the opportunity to admire and purchase artwork, engage in discussions about art, and meet the artists themselves. Whether you are a dedicated collector, a casual observer, or someone simply intrigued by the world of art, this event promises to be a vibrant and enriching experience.
“Meet the artist” is the heartfelt invitation extended to all visitors, including those who may feel intimidated by the gallery or art opening scene. Unlike larger art fairs like Art Basel or Art Cologne, the KÜNSTLERMESSE DRESDEN provides direct access to the artists, without intermediaries, right in the heart of Dresden’s capital.
Discover the Vibrant Art Scene of Dresden
Dresden and its surrounding region are renowned for their vibrant and diverse art scene. The KÜNSTLERMESSE DRESDEN serves as a platform for 100 artists, including individual artists, artist groups, and producer galleries, to showcase their work at the Deutsches Hygiene Museum.
From paintings to graphics, drawings, sculptures, objects, and photography, the exhibition encompasses a wide range of artistic expressions. It is an opportunity to explore the creations of both established artists and emerging talents, as well as artists from Dresden’s partner cities and students from the Hochschule für Bildende Künste (Academy of Fine Arts).
Connecting Art Enthusiasts with Artists
The KÜNSTLERMESSE DRESDEN stands out from larger art fairs by fostering direct connections between art enthusiasts, collectors, and gallery owners, and the artists themselves.
