Folkwang Student Arts Lab

The Folkwang Student Arts Lab is a model project—unique in Germany—dedicated to fostering young artistic talent. It offers artistic and academic workshop programs for school classes starting in 9th grade from all types of schools. Students experience the interconnected interdisciplinary nature of Folkwang and have the opportunity to explore new creative fields, further develop their artistic skills, and gain their first taste of college life.

Under the guidance of Folkwang faculty, alumni, and students, teenagers and young adults gain innovative insights into the disciplines of art, music, design, and performance. This involves exploring questions such as: What do eggs have to do with design processes? Why do we remember a movie when we hear just a few notes from the soundtrack? Is what we see in a photo reality?

The Folkwang Student Laboratory of the Arts is a program of the Folkwang University of the Arts.
