Art & Design Connection

The Art & Design Connection project utilizes three central vacant spaces in Cologne’s city center to promote local designers, artists, and creatives. Through pop-up shops and accompanying events, diverse concepts are showcased, ranging from fashion, art, and design to unique gift ideas. The goal is to reinvigorate Cologne’s inner city while seamlessly integrating art into retail spaces.

This autumn we’ll be hosting multiple pop ups and events in the City Center with the goal to spread art & design throughout the inner city, sensitizing consumers to new retail concepts and introducing new talents along the way.

  • F89 Pop Up Space: 8 Start Ups and creatives will showcase and sell their products on the Kettengasse 10, Cologne. From September - December

  • Mid Street Gallery: showing multiple works of local artists and designers

  • NAVE: taking it back to our roots, our largest pop up space is on the Ehrenstraße, exhibiting designs from Denmark, Netherlands and Germany o 700sqm gallery and retail space. Opens Oktober - December.
