The Essenheim Art Association showcases contemporary art and documentary films. In 6 to 7 exhibitions per year, established artists from home and abroad as well as young artists present their works: painting, graphics, installation, photography, video. In the Documentary-Film-Art series, outstanding artistic films are shown that rarely find their way to the audience otherwise. Admission to all events is free.
The idea of exhibiting art that can also be purchased led to the founding of the Essenheim Art Association more than 30 years ago. An art forum where artists and art lovers can enter into stimulating exchange. Each opening allows visitors to exchange ideas with the artists over pretzels and wine from our Essenheim wine producer sponsors. Sometimes there is live music as well.
For almost 20 years, the Essenheim Art Forum has also been showcasing documentary film art. More than 10,000 visitors have seen over 100 documentary films so far. And the special thing: After the film screening, they can engage in conversation with the visiting filmmakers about their film. The film topics come from all over the world. Sometimes exciting, sometimes thought-provoking. Sometimes cosmopolitan, sometimes very personal. Or even biased or political.
All of this is made possible by a voluntary team of association members whose goal is to discover, show, and convey. Often, collaborations are made with other art associations, art colleges, and galleries.
Visit us. The trip to Essenheim is worth it.
