Exhibition and opening of the scholarship holders in Bad Ems
The BAD BIENNALE is an exhibition format consisting of art from the 2025 scholarship holders and (guest) contributions from various fields including music and poetry, which will be experienced throughout the city.
We are looking forward to "Playgrounds for Daydreams," "Resonant Architectures," a cable car with readings, a church full of art, and a puppet theater in the park in memory of the puppeteer Max Jacob, who was born in Bad Ems.
The Bad Biennale will take place from July 25 to August 2, 2026, at various locations.
The opening will take place on Sat, July 25, 2026, at 2 p.m. at Café Maxine (formerly Café Maxeiner).
The detailed program can be found here.
We thank the Rheinland-Pfalz Cultural Summer for the generous support of our program.
