meppen art circle e.v.
The Meppener Kunstkreis has set itself the goal of creating an art program with exhibitions, working groups and art trips.
In 1977, around 50 committed citizens of the district town of Meppen founded the “Meppener Kunstkreis – Verein zur Förderung der bildenden Kunst e.V.”, so that the Kunstkreis can look back on 45 successful years in 2022.
One of the declared goals of the Meppener Kunstkreis (MKK) is to promote art through the exhibitions local and foreign artists to sharpen the perceptive faculties of the art viewer and to awaken an understanding for a qualified dialog with art.
Art school
With his art school the Meppen Art Circle offers creative programs for children, young people and school classes.
By promoting creative and aesthetic competence in children and young people, the art school aims to strengthen not only artistic skills, but also self-confidence and self-efficacy. Children experience that they can actively (co-)shape their living environment. By working with natural materials, upcycling packaging and questioning our own work, we can make a contribution to sustainable education. “Planet Earth” is the name of our new program. In the courses of the art school we want to discover and explore nature and things together to learn to appreciate them. Sensual perception and processual work play an important role. In addition to the courses, the program booklet contains numerous interesting offers such as vacation workshops, birthday events, the art school breakfast, the open studio or the new program “Art in the Evening”. The offers are not only aimed at children and young people, but increasingly at adults as well.
