NordArt 2025

Carlshütte Büdelsdorf

The historic grounds of Carlshütte in Schleswig-Holstein, serve as a venue where international art narrates a shared story of our time. NordArt, one of Europe's largest contemporary art exhibitions, will take place this year from
6 June to 5 October.

Curated and redesigned annually, NordArt receives around 3,000 applications from artists worldwide each year. Once an iron foundry, Carlshütte has transformed into a melting pot of a different kind – one where diverse perspectives reveal that despite cultural differences, the hopes and dreams of East and West, North and South remain deeply connected. The art by the 200 selected artists embodies this spirit of dialogue and exchange, presenting unique perspectives on the world today.

"Art seeks answers to everything that moves and touches us, and in art, people can find answers. It reflects our fears but also symbolises our collective hope for a better tomorrow. Art inspires the soul and instils confidence in a language all people understand. We are honoured that NordArt has been able to foster this wonderful nonverbal conversation,” says the Principal Curator, Wolfgang Gramm.
