Residency Baden-Württemberg – Catalonia
We are very pleased to announce that in 2023 the artist exchange between Baden-Württemberg and Catalonia takes place for the ninth time. The artists Laura van Severen and Vicente Vazquez Peleteiro have been selected from Catalonia. Both will live and work in Stuttgart in June and July of this year and will subsequently present their work at the Württembergischer Kunstverein. In turn, the Baden-Württemberg artists Kai Krämer and Jasmin Schädler will live and work in Barcelona in September and October of this year.

Administration of WKV moved to Werastrasse 28
As the old wing of the Kunstgebäude Stuttgart is being renovated, the administration of the Württembergischer Kunstverein had to move. For about two years it is located at Werastrasse 28, 70182 Stuttgart, directly opposite the Cranko School. The exhibition venue of the Kunstverein in the Kunstgebäude at the Schlossplatz is not affected by the renovation measures.
