Artothek Summer Break 2025 – Important Information 📅🎨
Dear visitors, dear artists,
Every year in July and August, we use our summer break to conduct the Artothek changeover. We look forward to receiving several hundred artworks each year, which are submitted and achieve good sales figures in our Artothek. 🖼️✨
As many of you may have already read in the local press, our extension is currently being built, followed by an urgent building renovation. This renovation brings many new opportunities and improvements, including in the exhibition area, which we are very excited about. 🏗️🔨
Urgent Work During the Summer Break 🛠️
However, construction rarely happens without limitations. Therefore, we must use this year's summer break to carry out urgently needed work on the building that cannot be done during regular operation. These include important tasks in the areas of:
- Ventilation
- Fire protection
- Energy-efficient renovation
These works affect both the new building and the existing structure and are interconnected. ⚙️🔧
Artothek Changeover 2025 – Postponement and Extension 📅
Due to the construction work on the 2nd floor, we are unable to carry out the Artothek changeover this year as it would not be possible to protect your artworks properly. We kindly ask for your understanding that the changeover of the Artothek will be postponed by one year.
- The artists have kindly agreed to extend the duration of their works and make them available to us for another year.
- The next Artothek changeover will take place in July 2026.
For our Artothek users, attractive works will continue to be available for rental or purchase. Also, artworks borrowed from the changeover collection can be kept over the summer of 2025. 🖼️📅
Pick-up and Borrowing During the Summer Break 📦
The Artothek will be cleared out from April to August, and all artworks will be safely stored in our warehouse. However, pick-ups will still be possible during regular opening hours. Borrowing of artworks is also possible during this time. 🌟
All artworks are also available online at:

Reopening of the Artothek in September 2025 🔄
From September 1, 2025, the Artothek at TUFA will be fully operational again without any limitations! 🎉
If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us at any time. We thank you for your understanding and look forward to continuing to enrich you with art in the future. 🙏🎨
Best regards,
Your Artothek Team
