A Century of Art History in Regensburg – Lively, Regional, Surprising
With the anniversary exhibition 100 Years Annual Exhibition and 30 U40 Art Prizes, the Art and Craft Association Regensburg celebrates an exhibition format that has made artistic creation in Lower Bavaria and the Upper Palatinate visible since 1926. The exhibition connects past and present: a journey through regional art, crafts, and exhibition culture, supported by the long history of the association, which has been one of the oldest art associations in Germany since 1838. The exhibition runs from September 19 to October 25, 2026 at the house located at Ludwigstraße 6.

An Exhibition Space Full of History and Present
The annual exhibition is not just a symbol of the anniversary but a cultural format with established authority. For almost a century, the Art and Craft Association has provided a stage for artists and artisans related to the region. It is from this that the special exhibition atmosphere arises: between the contemplation of works and art-historical classification, a vibrant overview of generations, media, and aesthetic stances unfolds. The exhibition presents regional art production as a serious part of the contemporary art landscape.

U40 Art Prize: Young Talent, Attitude, New Perspectives
The second focus of the exhibition is on the U40 art prize, which has been honoring young positions since 1996, thereby accompanying the artistic development of the region. This connection between the anniversary exhibition and the promotion of young talent gives the presentation a special dynamic: established styles encounter new visual languages, painting, sculpture, and crafts meet current aesthetic experiments. For visitors, this creates an art experience that not only remembers but also makes the future visible.

A Place for Cultural Education and Precise Encounter with Works
The Art and Craft Association Regensburg has always seen itself as a platform for contemporary art events and artistically designed crafts. This is exactly where the quality of this exhibition lies: it provides orientation, invites comparison, and opens a space for cultural education. Those who visit the annual exhibition not only experience individual works but also the history of an institution that has accompanied, documented, and conveyed regional art over decades.
