What?
6th arkadenale_comeback

Since 2015, a themed exhibition – arkadenale – has been held every two years at the KUNSTARKADEN. In 2025, the arkadenale will focus on artists who have lived and worked in Munich and, for whatever reason, have left beautiful Munich.

We are calling on all artists concerned to apply for the 6th arkadenale in the Kunstarkaden.

We want to bring you back to Munich! Despite the challenges artists face here, Munich is still a place full of cultural significance. The exhibition should be more than just an opportunity to present your work and celebrate the past, but an invitation to return. Let’s break down the barriers and enrich Munich with your artistic perspectives.
