“After our successful tenth anniversary in 2023, we can say proudly: ‘Add Art is continuing because everyone is eager to experience art in an unusual way,’” said Hubertus von Barby, initiator. The Grand Elysée Hamburg, for instance, is presenting contemporary figurative painting from northern Germany. The Lohmann Konzept healthcare company is showing experimental art and works by Peter Nikolaus Heikenwälder, while the KSP law firm is presenting experimental photography by Clemens Schenk. New participating companies including the communications agency ,Gute Leude Fabrik, is showing street art while the Hotel Villa Viva, owned by Viva-con-Agua, will present art in different rooms and spaces. In addition, Hubert Neubacher, owner of Barkassen-Meyer, will present a collection ranging from pop art to contemporary art, including the so-called art barge from the Überseebrücke to Entenwerder.
Twenty students and graduates of HAW Hamburg will exhibit their works. Add Art fosters young artists by presenting their works and giving them opportunities in art education. The Add Art Award for young artists, donated by the Sparkassen-Stiftung Holstein, will be presented on November 11, 2024, in Villa Villa. The winners receive a jury prize of EUR 2,000 or an audience prize of EUR 1,000. Add Art is organised in co-operation with the Chamber of Commerce, HAW Hamburg and the You advertising agency.
