You’d like to support the Museum Kunst der Westküste (MKdW), but still don’t really know exactly how? In addition to supporting the museum’s work in general, you can also dedicate your assistance to a selection of specific projects each year.
What about contributing to one of what are currently our three most important projects?
CLASSIC! DYNAMIC! YOUNG!
CLASSIC! Exhibition Fresh Wind. Impressionism in the Nordics.
The CLASSIC! category of contributions is connected to MKdW's 15th anniversary. We hope many people will support the major anniversary exhibition Fresh Wind. Impressionism in the Nordics (June 9th – November 3rd 2024). In the years from 1870 to 1920 also German, Dutch and Danish impressionists developed an entirely new iconography focussing on themes such as light, beach, garden or city. You can look forward to the exhilarating experience of seeing 80 paintings and oil studies of the highest artistic standard created by artists such as Anna Ancher, Max Liebermann, Wassily Kandinsky and Johan Barthold Jongkind.
The exhibition and the catalogue are created in collaboration with the Dutch Singer Laren Museum and Niedersächsisches Landesmuseum in Hannover
DYNAMIC! BEWEGUNG! the restoration of a painting by Louis Gurlitt
The DYNAMIC! commitment section is linked to the desire to preserve the MKdW's high-calibre collection for posterity in the best possible way. With your help, we would currently like to restore the excellent and historically significant painting Gegend bei Silkeborg (1841, oil on canvas, 138 x 200 cm, MKdW) by the renowned landscape painter Louis Gurlitt (1812-1897).
YOUNG! Artist-in-Residence-Programme 2024
The YOUNG! category of contributions focuses on the wish to provide assistance to our artist-in-residence programme. Each year, we make it possible to fund the costs of the invited artists’ travel, their materials and their stay. When this extends beyond a residency on Föhr and we carry out an exhibition with the artist in residence and produce a catalogue, this requires additional financial assistance.
You can also support us here directly underneath the projects or by bank transfer.
