Artothek Weiz: Works of art available to borrow from November 28th
The opportunity to borrow works of art will soon be available in Weiz. The new art library will open its doors next Thursday, November 28th. What may come as a surprise to many is the result of a special initiative by the city to make art easier for its citizens and art lovers.
The city of Weiz has put together an impressive collection of 352 works of art through various purchases and gifts. This collection encompasses different styles and eras, giving visitors to the Artothek the opportunity to experience and select various works of art that they can temporarily display in their own four walls.
Establishment and management of the art library
Harald Polt from the museum association is responsible for the inventory and organization of the art library. His job will be to ensure that all artwork is properly cataloged and made available for loan. The quality of the works of art and the variety of the offerings should ensure that there is something for every taste.
The idea behind the Artothek is to bring art closer to people, to offer the opportunity to borrow works and thus to see art not only in museums or galleries, but also to experience it in their personal environment. This could help promote awareness of arts and culture in the region.
The Artothek Weiz is part of a larger trend that can be observed in cities such as Vienna and Graz. Renting works of art has long been established here and represents an attractive alternative to purchasing. Many people may not have the opportunity or space to own valuable works of art permanently, but would still like to be able to enjoy experiencing them.
The opening of the Artothek is not only seen as an important step for the art scene in Weiz, but could also provide a variety of creative impulses for the city center. Further information about the art library and the lending procedure will be announced at the opening.
