Kunst:Offen Wittow — Studio Tour

Three Days Between Bodden, Cliff Coast, and Studio

Kunst:Offen in Vorpommern is one of the most traditional open studio initiatives in Germany. On Pentecost, hundreds of artists in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern open their workshops and show what they are working on — from the first sketch to the finished piece. Wittow, the northern peninsula of Rügen, is part of this network and has been an attractive stop for years.

Studios on Wittow

On Wittow, several studios in Breege, Juliusruh, and Putgarten regularly participate. These include the Kunstraum Wasserwerk, the Atelier Arkona, and Kunst im Küsterhus — the exact list changes from year to year and is published before Pentecost on the website of the Tourism Association Vorpommern e.V. and on flyers from tourist information centers. The participating studios can be found on the website via a map.

Wittow and the Vorpommern-Rügen District

Wittow belongs to the municipality of Breege or Putgarten in the Vorpommern-Rügen district (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). The sparse, wide landscape with its steep coast, Cape Arkona, Bodden shores, and small fishing villages like Vitt has attracted artists for decades, who operate workshops in old farmhouses and former utility buildings. Kunst:Offen is the opportunity to visit these quiet workspaces directly once a year.
