The Kunstbalkon was founded in the late 1980s and is one of Kassel's oldest producer galleries. Since 2017, it has been located in Südstadt in good neighbourhood to other galleries.
The Kunstbalkon's projects and exhibitions are developed and curated by visual artists who work in Kassel and maintain intensive contact with colleagues from other cities. The programme is characterised by the idea of supra-regional and international exchange. There have already been bilateral projects in Tokyo, Ashkaga, Genoa, Florence, Montes Claros (Brazil), Vienna, Switzerland, the Netherlands and various German cities.
The role of the Art Balcony alternates between guest and host. The Kunstbalkon also serves its active members as a platform for presenting and discussing their own artistic work. Some members of the Kunstbalkon regularly offer workshops: for drawing, painting, sculpting and more.
