PlakART 2024 Awardees to Claim Individual Art Pieces from Solinger Gallery
=====================================================================
Solingen, Germany, has once again showcased its vibrant art scene with the PlakART 2024 competition. This annual event, focusing on poster design, contributed to the city's cultural and artistic landscape by engaging artists and the community in creative visual expression.
Over 450 entries were received for the competition, which was held this year to celebrate Solingen's 650th anniversary. The unique pieces, displayed from June 11 to July 11, showcased a broad stylistic range, including both figurative and abstract images.
The art pieces were displayed not only in the city's museums but also on the streets and squares, and on the website solingen650.de. The common theme of the displayed art pieces was "650 years of Solingen".
Dagmar Becker, the city director and cultural director, drew the winning tickets for the competition. The winners of PlakART 2024 are Judith Funke, Ulrika Eller-Rueter, Conny Schuessler, and Stefan Seeger. Their winning art pieces are titled "Diversity", "Aquae", "Coming Home", and "We go...Home!".
The PlakART competition is endorsed by important local partners like the Stadt-Sparkasse Solingen and often linked with institutions or cultural venues such as the Rollhaus. The initiative was started during the corona time to provide a stage for the art scene in the cityscape.
The winners of the competition were presented with their awards in the art museum. The PlakART competition is just one example of the many cultural events, contests, and workshops that take place in Solingen, promoting artistic and communal engagement in the city.
For the latest updates on the PlakART competition, contacting the Rollhaus in Solingen or the Stadt-Sparkasse Solingen—both active cultural partners in the city—is recommended.
