Open Studios at the Gasworks: Art is created in the middle of an industrial monument

On Sunday, October 18, 2026, artists at the Gasworks Augsburg will open their workspaces. From 12:00 to 18:00, the art experience will guide you through a vibrant creative quarter where contemporary art, music, and industrial architecture meet directly.

Studio Observations amidst Brick, Steel, and History

The historic Gasworks site in Augsburg's Oberhausen district provides an impressive stage for the Open Studios. The unique exhibition atmosphere arises from the contrast between the rough materiality of the industrial monument and the diverse artistic processes. Visitors will gain insights into studios, workshops, and creative spaces and experience art where it is created.

Painting, Photography, Urban Art, and Music

The program connects various genres of contemporary art. Among other things, there will be painting, photography, urban art, sculpture, and musical contributions to discover. The open presentation format makes artistic methods visible: materials, forms, surfaces, and image ideas are not isolated in the exhibition space but appear in direct relation to the creators' workplaces.

Direct Exchange with Artists

The Open Studios create space for discussions about inspiration, technique, and the daily life of artistic production. Tours and special events complement the program. This makes the Gasworks a place of cultural education where art history, contemporary culture, and personal encounters intersect.

A Creative Quarter as a Lively Art Space

The Gasworks symbolizes the transformation of a historic industrial area into a center for cultural and creative industries. The open doors provide an immediate aesthetic experience: visitors observe work processes, discover different art movements, and develop their perspective on contemporary art through dialogue with the works.
