About the Kunstverein
The Bellevue-Saal is an art association for contemporary art
In 1986 it was founded as the ”Verein zur Förderung künstlerischer Projekte mit gesellschaftlicher Relevanz e.V.“ (Association for the Promotion of Artistic Projects with Social Relevance) by a group of artists, initially as a platform for the realisation of their own projects. In autumn 1993, the Association took over the organisation of art exhibitions in the empty dining room of the former Bellevue spa hotel on Wilhelmstrasse in Wiesbaden.
The first exhibition of the Kunstverein at Wilhelmstrasse 32 opened on 27 May 1994 with a joint exhibition.
The Wiesbaden State Museum, the Museum Ernst, the Nassauischer Kunstverein, the Literaturhaus Villa Clementine, the SAM – Stadtmuseum am Markt and the Hessian State Theatre are all located in the immediate vicinity of the Kunstverein Bellevue-Saal.
