A Statewide Initiative with a Local Hotspot

The KUNST:OFFEN Vorpommern initiative is one of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's largest participatory art events. Over the Pentecost weekend, more than a hundred artists and craftspeople from across the state open their studios and workshops to visitors free of charge. Participation is particularly vibrant in Lubmin and neighboring Hanshagen: The Lubmin artists' round table showcases paintings, ceramics, encaustic works, fishing rugs, and patchwork; the Hanshagen watermill complements the program with historical mill charm and art exhibitions.

What to Expect

Unlike traditional galleries, the studios are genuine workspaces on this weekend, where artists are present, demonstrate their techniques, and sell original works. Encaustic (wax painting), watercolor, acrylic, ceramics, wood, and textile works – the spectrum reflects the creative diversity of the Vorpommern art scene. Those traveling through the region can visit different locations over several days, moving from studio to studio.

Local Context

Lubmin belongs to the Lubmin office in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district, and Hanshagen is a neighboring community within the same office. The KUNST:OFFEN tradition has been nurtured in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern since the 1990s and has become an important platform for the state's independent art scene. Pentecost is the weekend across the state when Vorpommern opens its artists' doors.
