Change at the top: Oßwald will give the chair after 19 years!

Markdorf, Deutschland - A true earthquake in the Markdorf art temple: After 19 years in the saddle, Bernhard Oßwald, the founder and flagship head of the art association, gives up his presiding roles! The 70-year-old announces this step with a clear goal: "I want someone to come new who has the world of art under control!" When Mayor Georg Riedmann appeals to this topic at the last vernissage of the Paul heavy exhibition, there are shock and amazed on the faces of those present. Who will be the successor of this art pioneer?

fresh wind for the art association

The torch handover is already being planned! Oßwald is pleased to report that interested parties have already been found who are ready to take over the chair. "Unfortunately, nobody comes from the current board," he adds mysteriously. At the next extraordinary general meeting in March, the candidates will officially be available. It is essential that the new ideas and visions are in line with the existing board to continue the success story of the association.

The Markdorfer Kunstverein, born from a festive idea for an important artist, is on the upswing. With an annual grant of 17,200 euros from the city and further income through membership fees and art sales, the association is extremely alive. "We didn't have a flop - never!" Emphasizes Oßwald with emphasis. Even difficult exhibitions are well received by visitors! The magic of the balance sheet can be seen that particularly representative work magically attracts the audience. A proven recipe for success of the canter!

But what can we expect to retreat after Oßwald? He remains connected to the art events in Markdorf and will continue to work in the background. He sees his future filled with biographical projects and the incoming study of his passion. "We have to address younger people!" - With this vision, Oßwald hands over his inheritance and opens the doors for fresh impulses in the Markdorf art universe.
