Calendar

In this creative workshop, participants discover the modern technique of tape art and use adhesive tape to create fascinating works of art that captivate with their graphic clarity.

After an inspiring tour of the exhibition, where we will be inspired by the reduced forms and special lighting of the Weishaupt Collection, we will get creative together in the painting school. Using adhesive tape of different widths and colors, we will create our own compositions, which can range from small and elaborate to minimalist and simple. Working with adhesive tape allows for a unique form of deceleration and precision, leading to impressively clean results. It demonstrates in a special way how even simple lines can have a great visual impact.

In a relaxed atmosphere, we will create modern, unique pieces that play with structure and color.

Fee: 30 euros (including admission and materials)

Fully booked!

Open until 9 pm!

The day of action proclaimed by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) in 2026 has the significant motto: “Museums uniting a divided world.” Museums are more than just exhibition venues; they are living centers of understanding and diversity.

We are also participating in the nationwide initiative “Discover Museums” and invite all interested parties to explore our museum with free admission. Experience a musical tour at 12 noon with the School of Music in the Warendorf District, or take advantage of our family tours and creative hands-on activities from 2 to 6 p.m.

In this creative workshop, participants will explore the exciting interplay between spontaneity and structure and create unique works of art that captivate with their contrast.

After an inspiring tour of the exhibition, during which we’ll draw inspiration from the works on display, we’ll get to work together in the art studio. Using acrylic paint and a squeegee, we’ll first create impulsive color patterns and vibrant gradients through a dynamic dragging technique. In a second step, we’ll give this creative chaos a new form: the resulting areas of color will be cut into geometric shapes and rearranged. This creates a fascinating interplay of order and chaos.

This deliberate shift in techniques keeps us alert and curious throughout the creative process. A fascinating experience in which free, spontaneous gestures and the precise consideration of weight and proportions complement each other. In a relaxed atmosphere, we create modern, one-of-a-kind pieces that perfectly balance the tension between freedom and order!
