We are very pleased to co-present for the first time the exhibition “Klasse Kunst!”, which the Solingen Art Museum has established in recent years. We offer Solingen schools the opportunity to view works of art created in class by November 7 to 16, 2025 to present in an exhibition in the museum.

The motto of the exhibition “Klasse Kunst! “is deliberately kept open in order to avoid restrictive thematic requirements. Quality, artistic standards and originality are required. We leave the form in which they design their work to the schools and look forward to a wide range of suggestions. However, the participating groups should each agree on a common topic in order to be able to present their contribution consistently.

The competition is open to classes, courses, working groups or project groups. They can apply to participate from 8th grade onward. When presenting the topics, all media are allowed: painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, sculpture, video or performance.

The exhibition takes place in the museum's temporary exhibition space.

A jury makes the selection to award the best contributions with the Christel-Fervers Jury Prize

1st jury prize: 500€
2nd jury prize: 300€
3rd jury prize: 200€

and the audience makes the selection to award the Stadtwerke Solingen Audience Prize, which is organized by Center for Persecuted Arts

1st Stadtwerke Solingen Audience Award: 500€
2nd Stadtwerke Solingen Audience Award: 300€
3rd Stadtwerke Solingen Audience Award: 200€

Per group (please no applications from individual students), please submit until October 9, 2025 a digital application folder in PDF format to present your project.

Please use the registration form below (download pdf). A jury will decide whether to participate.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
