ABOUT OPEN STUDIO / WHAT WE DO

When we admire art in museums or galleries, we may ask: How were these works created? What do the artists themselves say about their art?

OPEN STUDIO opens the doors to art studios in Hamburg. We look over the shoulders of the main protagonists and hear what they have to say.

OPEN STUDIO enables you to experience art from a new perspective: first-hand and vivid, about art and its creators.

ABOUT OPEN STUDIO / WHY?

There is a gap between museums, galleries, artists, and the public!
This was the conclusion drawn by Anne Simone Krüger, who has been actively working in the Hamburg art scene since 2011. It can be difficult to find an opportunity to have a conversation with an artist, or when people get the chance, they may hesitate. There is often a lot of tentativeness when purchasing art as well. Apparently, inhibitions run high when it comes to dealing with art. Yet many works become more accessible once you engage in conversation: Which thoughts or ideas led to the piece? What are the underlying techniques? How many hours of passionate work were put into its creation?

OPEN STUDIO delivers answers and tries to close the gap between the image and its viewer.

ABOUT OPEN STUDIO / FOR WHOM?

Regardless of whether you are a Hamburg local or a tourist, a collector or a gallerist, a professional or an art-lover, it only matters that you are curious.

Beyond that, as a freely accessible online archive, OPEN STUDIO can serve as a source for art researchers.

ABOUT OPEN STUDIO / SPONSORSHIP

OPEN STUDIO is an independent initiative by ArtSceneFilm. The project is exclusively financed by sponsors and donors, the artists pay nothing.

ABOUT OPEN STUDIO / NETWORK

Each artist receives a subpage on our site with links to the artist’s own homepage and current gallery representation.

In return, we ask that our network partners also link to us on their websites.

Sponsors that are listed here by name or with their logos are also linked if requested. Together we can make art in Hamburg more visible!
