Art in a Historic Setting

ARTkronach takes place in the former synagogue of Kronach, a building with a special history in the Upper Franconian district of Kronach. The exhibition venue on Johann-Nikolaus-Zitter-Straße provides a dignified and atmospheric setting for the art fair.

A Platform for Regional Art

The exhibition is organized by the Association for the Promotion of Regional Art Kronach. It is conceived as a sales exhibition where artists from the region can present and offer their works to a broad audience. ARTkronach thus promotes artistic creation in Upper Franconia and creates a direct connection between artists and collectors.

Painting, Graphics, and Sculpture

Current paintings, graphics, and sculptures are on display. The diversity of the exhibits reflects the breadth of the regional art scene and makes every tour through the exhibition a journey of discovery through different styles and techniques.

Tradition at Pentecost

ARTkronach has established itself over many years as a fixed cultural event; the 2026 edition is already the 43rd. The exhibition traditionally takes place around the Pentecost weekend, making it one of the cultural highlights of spring in the town of Kronach.

Significance for the District

As a long-standing institution, ARTkronach strengthens the cultural profile of the district of Kronach and the Upper Franconia region in the Free State of Bavaria and supports the visibility of regional artists.
