Today
Exhibition and opening of the scholarship holders in Bad Ems
The BAD BIENNALE is an exhibition format consisting of art from the scholars of the 2025 cohort and (guest) contributions from, among others, music and poetry, which will be experienced together throughout the city. We look forward to “Playgrounds for Daydreams”, “Resonant Architectures”, a cable car with a reading, 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 Kick Off is on Sat, 25.7. with the Berlin band “Der Singende Tresen”.
The detailed program will be available here soon as a PDF to download.
The Bad Biennale will take place from 25.7. to 2.8.2026.
We thank the Kultursommer Rheinland-Pfalz for the generous support of our program.
