This year the newly renovated Vöhlin lock is part of the sculpture summer for the first time. Horst W.

It is estimated that the number of visitors of 2500 in previous years could even be exceeded, which also gives the event in importance.

The event presents a various group of artists, including the Memmingen painter and sculptor Jürgen Batscheider, who will bring fresh paintings who are previously unknown. His works, which were created in a studio in southern France, are unveiled in the inspiring ambience of the Vöhlin lock. "It's a great studio atmosphere," says Batscheider enthusiastically.

The artist Diether Kunerth, known for his works of art, which are exhibited in the Museum of the same name in Ottobeuren, will also be represented. Together with artists such as Steffen Schuster and numerous others who enjoy international recognition, the sculpture summer creates an exciting and varied art spectrum.

The positive response to sculpture summer is not only shown in the large number of visitors, but also in the enthusiasm of the artists. "The mixture of abstract and figurative art makes it particularly interesting," explains Wendland. For many visitors, contact with art and the artists is a unique experience that often leads to further engagements.

The Allgäu sculpture summer is more than just an art exhibition; It is a cultural event that brings people together and promotes exchange. This connection between artists and visitors not only creates awareness of art, but also strengthens the region's sense of community. At a time when cultural events are of great importance, the sculpture summer positions itself as a highlight in the annual calendar in Frickenhausen.
