The Exhibition And This is Us 2025 – Young Artists Based in Frankfurt
From 10 May to 31 August, the Frankfurter Kunstverein will present the exhibition And This is Us 2025 – Young Artists Based in Frankfurt. For the fifth edition of this biennial exhibition format, twelve artists have been invited. The exhibition is curated and produced by the Frankfurter Kunstverein and has served as an institutional platform and springboard for emerging talents since 2017. In close collaboration with the Städelschule, the Offenbach University of Art and Design, and for the first time the Mainz Academy of Fine Arts, a parcours is developed through a multi-stage selection process that represents the themes and practices of young artists from the Rhine-Main region.
The participants are supported in the conception and realisation of their own individual projects, enabling them to produce new, large-scale works and to stage them within the space. And This is Us – Young Artists Based in Frankfurt invites visitors to approach the phenomena of our time through the sensory perspectives of young artists. As in previous editions, the 2025 format captures the vibrations and moods of the young generation and makes them directly tangible.
Individual appointments for private guided tours on request:
Are you interested in a private group tour or a director’s tour through the exhibition with Franziska Nori? The tours are suitable for small private groups, but we are also happy to make an offer for larger groups of up to 60 people.
A booked tour can be cancelled free of charge up to three days before the appointment. Please note that a cancellation fee will be charged for short-notice cancellations of private tours.
When making your enquiry, please provide your preferred date, an alternative date, the number of participants, and a brief description of the group. Thank you very much!
Educational Programme for Children and Young People (6–18 years old)
Workshops and Dialogical Tours
Alongside the exhibition And This is Us – Young Artists Based in Frankfurt, the Frankfurter Kunstverein has developed an educational programme with eight workshop modules that offer young people a creative approach to current social issues through art. An overview of all workshops can be found under Events.
The educational programme is aimed at school classes as well as independent groups of children and young people and takes place during the exhibition period from 10 May to 31 August 2025, both during the school weeks and the summer holidays.
The starting point for the workshops are the themes, media, and approaches of the twelve And This is Us 2025 artists, who work with a wide range of materials and techniques – from wood sculpture, painting, photography, film, to 3D printing and AI-generated deep fakes. The workshops offer space for critical discussion and reflection on contemporary topics such as identity, environment and sustainability, digital realities, political oppression, social cohesion, and visions for the future.
Mina Wellmann, Elif Öner, Jonathan Heil, and Sabrina Löhr guide the participants through the programme, support the artistic ideas of the children and young people, and help them to develop and realise their own visions. The programme encourages creative expression, critical thinking, and dialogue in an atmosphere that promotes openness and self-efficacy.
The aim is to offer young people a space where they can express their perspectives and develop new viewpoints on social issues through artistic-practical methods.
For all age groups, we also offer dialogical tours, which we tailor individually to your group. We are happy to discuss special requests or thematic focuses with you in advance.
Discounted rates apply for school classes and free groups of children and young people:
Guided tours: €50 (plus admission per person)

Cultural participation is a central concern for us.
