The Kunstverein e.V. was established in 1827 and thus numbers among the oldest Kunstvereine (art associations) in Germany. The history of its programs during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries reads like a “Who's Who” of classic modernism, and since 1950 the Kunstverein Freiburg has developed into an institution, esteemed both nationally and internationally, which focuses exclusively on current tendencies in contemporary art.
The Kunstverein Freiburg e.V. focuses on fundamental questions concerning the production, presentation, communication and preconditions of contemporary art.
In individual and group exhibitions, collaborations and projects, through free guided tours, lectures, music programs, actions and discussions (e.g. the discussion with the artist on the Saturday after the exhibition opening), the Kunstverein devotes itself intensively to the communication of art, and also aims systematically at a young public.
