A place for art and encounters in the district
“The flying artist’s room in an urban setting” by the Crespo Foundation is an innovative format for cultural education in public spaces. The mobile studio will make guest appearances in public spaces in Frankfurt am Main for at least two years and will be used by artists as “artists-in-residence” in close cooperation with the local neighborhood management. The artists initiate participatory processes with local people that promote creativity and self-efficacy and strengthen cooperation in the district.
Since the beginning of 2023 and until summer 2025, the flying artist´s room has been a guest performer in Preungesheim on Gravensteiner Platz. From fall 2025, the flying artist´s room will “land” on the grounds of the Volks-, Bau- und Sparverein (VBS) in Frankfurt’s Ginnheim district.
“The flying artist’s room is a creative space where artists and residents can develop ideas together, experience art and actively shape social coexistence in the district.”Prof. Christiane Riedel, Chair of the Crespo Foundation
