Organization:
Kulturkollektiv Goetheschule is characterized by painters, graphic artists, musicians, graffiti artists, glassblowers, photographers, filmmakers, theatre people and other creative people of all ages working together and side by side. In the depths of the Thuringian Forest, in the spirit of BAUHAUS, they are once again combining craftsmanship and art.
Events such as exhibitions, concerts, readings, workshops, theatre plays, poetry slams, and their own contributions to Lauscha events and a small library bring these artistic and cultural resources to the outside world.
Under the motto ‘Art needs space and appreciation’, they rented the former Goethe School Lauscha in 2014 and made all three floors accessible. The entire building has been transferred to the care of the association under heritable building rights. Much of the renovation work has been completed, but the process is not yet finished.
The Federal Cultural Foundation and the Thuringian State Chancellery have provided start-up funding for the establishment of the residency and the launch of the program. The Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Thuringia has been funding the program since 2018.
