Lending art: vernissage of the ArtotheK Weiz on November 28th on November 28th
The city of Weiz has launched an innovative concept with the opening of the new artotheque, which offers art lovers the opportunity to rent works from the municipal collection. The aim of this initiative is to give more people access to the visual art and not only to see art in museums, but also to bring them directly to their own home. On November 28th at 7:30 p.m. the official vernissage will take place in the Weberhaus gallery, followed by a one -week exhibition that should bring the works of art closer to visitors.
The Arthothek is a cooperation between the Weiz city library and several cultural institutions, including the Weiz Stadtmuseum and the Weiz Art School. Interested parties have the opportunity to borrow a work of art for up to eleven months for a small rental fee of 15 euros. "Some of the pictures have already led another trip, practically a nomadic life, now they are settling down," says the cultural officer Oswin Donner with enthusiasm about this project.
a valuable art stock
The collection comprises a total of 352 works of art, some of which are exhibited in public space and others are stored in the new premises of the art school. The works of art range from local artists such as Elmar Hauser and Walter Krattner to international artists such as Jonny Zerox from Wales. A selection of 30 to 40 of the best pieces is presented as part of the exhibition and can be used for the loan. This careful selection is made and managed under the direction of Harald Polt, the head of the city museum.
A special challenge when lending works of art is safe transport. Franz Josef Haas has developed a sustainable packaging solution for this, which not only ensures the protection of the works of art during transport, but is also environmentally friendly. The packaging is handed over with a deposit contribution and can be returned after use.
The cultural influence of the artotheque
The artothek is not only seen as a possibility for art lovers to beautify their apartments, but also as an ideal gift for the upcoming holidays. Sandra Buchgraber, the head of the Weiz city library, emphasizes: "The Artothek offers a great offer for people interested in art. Libraries are no longer just places for books; more and more people are also interested in lending works of art."
The city of Weiz plans to increase works by young artists in the future, to promote their talents and show the population what great creative veins can be found in the region. Curator Georg Gratzer speaks of the goal of integrating art into the everyday life of people in an uncomplicated way and at the same time supporting the local art scene.
summarized the Artotheque Weiz is an exciting way to make it easier for the public to access high -quality art and to enrich the cultural offers in the region. Further information on the artothek and the loan conditions can be found in the current reporting
