Art in focus: Red carpet connects stories in Eichstätt!

Things are becoming increasingly colorful and creative in Eichstätt! From then onJune 26thuntilOctober 31, 2025The Cathedral Treasure and Diocesan Museum invites you to the latest exhibition entitled“The Red Carpet”a. Artworks by fourteen art education students at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt are presented here. A “red carpet” will act as the central eye-catcher, symbolizing not only the color red, but also collective action and creative exchange.

The inspiration for these extraordinary works of art comes from the museum's famous Walburgis carpets. Each carpet tells its own story and reflects the different biographies of the students. What is exciting is that the students' designs were woven into a large-format tapestry - a real collaborative project that reflects the diversity of creative engagement.

Contact person for sustainable art

The exhibition is not only a feast for the eyes, but also part of the project Transformative Design Space(TDS). This innovative project promotes active participation of diverse groups and generations in artistic processes. The focus here is on workshops and discussions that promote artistic and craft skills as well as intercultural exchange.

Another interesting aspect of the exhibition is the conscious use of materials. The students only use used materials for their works, which underlines the sustainability of art practice. The project is supported by the Volkswagen Foundation, which wants to use this approach to develop creative ideas to promote sustainable action in everyday life.

Invitation to the vernissage

For the ceremonial opening onJune 25tharound6:30 p.mAll art lovers and interested parties are warmly invited to the museum. The exhibition runs from Wednesday to Sunday and on public holidays between10:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.mbe open so that everyone has the opportunity to be transported into the world of carpet art.

The themes of the exhibition and the creative approaches also address global challenges such as climate change and overuse of resources, which underlines the relevance of art in our society today. A look into the future shows that this pattern will also appear in other initiatives like this Transform.NRWproject is taken up. A cooperation platform to promote sustainable transformation in North Rhine-Westphalia is being developed here, bringing together art, culture and science to work on solutions for a new culture of sustainability.

So take the opportunity to take part in this creative exchange and discover the stories woven in the carpets. Eichstätt becomes a stage for innovative artists and the power of community!
