Cultural summer on the canal: Experience art, music and creativity in Mustin!

Summer in Cologne will be creative and colorful! The “Cultural Summer on the Canal” is just around the corner and invites you to a very special experience in Thomas and Gesine Biller’s garden in Mustin on Sunday, July 6, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Under the motto *Art in words, sounds and images*, guests can expect a varied program that appeals to both art lovers and families. It is an excellent opportunity to discover fresh ideas and creative works while enjoying the sunshine and the smell of culinary delights in the air.

A highlight of the day will be the reader Andrea Sacker, who will captivate visitors with her summery, light texts. In addition, the summer studio will be transformed into a gallery and will show new works in oil and acrylic by artist Marion Vollmer. Artworks in oil painting are presented by lecturer and painter Marlo Klinnert. Roderich Vollmer will present his creative book art, while Gesine Biller will shine with impressive photography. And Thomas Biller also enriches the event with his color concepts - despite his health restrictions, his book is not yet in print.

Diverse offers for young and old

The cultural summer on the canal offers not only an exhibition, but also numerous interactive elements. An intensive workshop on the topic of *“Anyone can draw portraits”* starts at 3 p.m. This workshop is free, but you can get the materials you need for a donation. Musical interludes also create a relaxed atmosphere that invites you to linger. What is particularly exciting is the opportunity to offer creative works for sale - from painted and photographed items to sewn and felted items, there is something for everyone. This makes the cultural spring outdoors a real experience.

The event is part of a larger movement that takes place under the term *Art in the Park*. These festivals provide an excellent platform for artists to present their work in picturesque settings. Such art festivals are becoming increasingly popular in Germany and promote both cultural life and community by making art accessible to everyone. Families and art lovers will get their money's worth here, as there is a colorful supporting program with culinary offerings and activities for children. So if you're looking for an entertaining day, the cultural summer is the right place for you!

Weatherproof art for outdoor use

An interesting aspect of the event is the weatherproofing of the artworks on display. The works of art are manufactured using special technical processes to guarantee their longevity outdoors. When painting, special colors are used that can withstand wind and weather. This surface sealing ensures that the works of art remain colorful and do not weather, which represents an additional focus on the quality of the works on display. This means visitors can not only admire the works, but also understand how the artists overcome the challenges of the weather.

Whether painting, photography or book art works – the cultural summer on the canal offers a great opportunity to be inspired and celebrate creativity. Don't miss the chance to immerse yourself in Thomas and Gesine Biller's garden on July 6th and experience unforgettable moments with art and culture.
