About Kunst:Offen Wittow

On Pentecost, artists throughout Mecklenburg-Vorpommern open their studios, workshops, and galleries to the public — Kunst:Offen. On the Wittow peninsula in northern Rügen, studios in Breege, Juliusruh, Putgarten, and the surrounding villages participate. Visitors stroll from place to place, talk to painters, sculptors, ceramicists, and photographers, experience the workshop atmosphere, and discover original works far from traditional galleries. One of the most beautiful cultural events of the Baltic Sea early summer.

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.

Kunst:Offen Wittow — edition 2026

Kunst:Offen 2026 takes place on Pentecost weekend from May 23 to 25. On the Wittow peninsula in northern Rügen, including Kunstraum Wasserwerk, Atelier Arkona, and Kunst im Küsterhus, open their doors daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Free admission, direct sales on site.

On Pentecost 2026, Wittow is once again participating in the statewide Kunst:Offen initiative. The participating studios — including regularly Kunstraum Wasserwerk, Atelier Arkona, and Kunst im Küsterhus — are open on all three days from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Visitors can drop by the workshops unannounced, chat with the artists, and purchase original works directly.

The complete list of all participating studios in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern will be published in the weeks before Pentecost on the official website of the Tourism Association Vorpommern and via the app »Kunst:Offen«. The registration period for participating artists ended in December 2025.
