Art by Monika Quast: Vernissage shows colors of the past!

The art landscape in Brandenburg an der Havel will receive an exciting new highlight in the coming weeks. On Saturday, July 19, 2025, at 6:00 p.m., the exhibition “With brushes and paint through the years” by local artist Monika Quast opens in the culture pavilion at Nicolaiplatz 1. The opening promises a captivating insight into the world of watercolors that Quast has created over the years. Her journey as an artist began when she was at school, but career and family took priority for a long time. It was only when she retired that she found her way back to painting and now proudly presents her works, which reflect both her creative development and her passion for drawing. The exhibition can be visited from July 20 to August 9, 2025, Friday to Sunday from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The crowning conclusion will be the finissage on Sunday, August 10, 2025, which will certainly attract many art lovers, reports stadt-brandenburg.de.

The Kunsthalle Brennabor, which houses this exhibition, has established itself over the years as an important place for contemporary art. The impressive building, which used to produce strollers, bicycles and cars, was revitalized in 2001 and now offers 600 square meters of exhibition space. Since the Kunsthalle was founded 20 years ago, a large number of exhibitions have been held, all of which are organized by a dedicated team from the Friends of the Kunsthalle Brennabor e.V. This voluntary commitment ensures that the Kunsthalle remains an attractive meeting place for art lovers, even if there is still an urgent need for financing concepts to ensure the continued existence of this valuable institution. The goals include five to six new exhibitions every year, inviting not only local but also national and international artists, according to freunde-kunsthalle-brennabor.com.
