Delmenhorst art prize: Young talents conquer the gallery!

In a solemn premiere, the Coburg house gave the first "Art Prize Delmenhorst"! The lucky winners are the creative trio Tomás Maglione, Vanessa Amoah Opoku and Fynn Ribbeck. Each of them can look forward to a prize money of 5,000 euros and will present their works in a joint exhibition in the Delmenhorst municipal gallery, which will be opened in June 2025.

The art prize will be awarded every two years in the future and has a total volume of impressive 50,000 euros.
