The welcoming speech of Prof. Dr. Julia Lehner (Cultural Advisor of the City of Nuremberg) rounded off the evening.

Quoting Participants

Bunsen Goetz Galerie with Sculptures by Artist Stefan Schindler: “We were happy to be part of Art Weekend Nuremberg again and realized that there were way more visitors this year than in the year before. Which might well be related to the corporate opening ceremony at Heimatministerium. We see a lot of potential for growth in the years to come.”

Galerie Landskron Schneidzik: “Art Weekend Nuremberg was a huge success for us, we had brilliant visitor feedback. Our guests were thrilled about the invitation for the opening ceremony, they thought of the Sculpture Garden as a huge gain for the event. At the start, we opened the exhibition  ‘Dunkle Materie – Anmerkung zum großen Rasenstück’ with paintings by Artist Ottmar Hörl.”

Galerie VON&VON: “In the 2nd year, too, our expectations were exceeded many times over.”
