Stiftung für Kunst und Kultur

The Stiftung für Kunst und Kultur e.V. is a German non-profit cultural foundation and exhibition organizer headquartered in Bonn. It describes itself as engaged, independent, flexible and well-networked, and states that for 30 years it has acted as an idea generator and driving force for activities around contemporary art and culture. Its self-defined mission is to be a co-creator of the whole, freely following Joseph Beuys. The foundation's activities span several formats: it makes exhibitions, operates a private museum, organizes cultural-policy discussions, and shapes urban space. This combination of curatorial production, museum operation and public debate distinguishes it from a purely grant-making foundation; it is an active cultural operator that conceives and realizes projects, often in partnership with public institutions, sponsors and international partners. A representative example of its work is the exhibition project "Diversity United. Contemporary European Art," staged at the former Tempelhof Airport in Berlin in Hangars 2 and 3. Within that framework the foundation presented "Be AWARE – Frauen in der Geschichte der Kunst / A history of Women Artists" (14 July – 10 October 2021), an independent project focused on gender discourse and equality in art history, aiming to give women artists greater visibility. The project was associated with figures including Camille Morineau, Benita von Maltzahn and Walter Smerling. The foundation is registered as an eingetragener Verein (e.V.), i.e. a registered association, and Wikidata describes it as a German foundation based in Bonn. It operates as a private, non-profit entity rather than a listed company. Its public profile rests on large-scale, often internationally oriented exhibition projects and on cultural-policy convening rather than on commercial retail or manufacturing.

The Stiftung für Kunst und Kultur e.V. is a German cultural foundation based in Bonn. According to its own website, it has been active for 30 years as an idea generator and driving force for activities around contemporary art and culture. Its stated goal is to be a co-creator of the whole, freely following Joseph Beuys — a reference to the artist's expanded concept of art and social sculpture. Over its history the foundation has developed a profile that combines exhibition-making, the operation of a private museum, the organization of cultural-policy discussions, and interventions in urban space. Rather than functioning only as a grant-giving body, it acts as an active producer and organizer of cultural projects, frequently working with partners, sponsors and public venues. A notable recent chapter is its involvement in the large-scale exhibition "Diversity United. Contemporary European Art," held at the former Tempelhof Airport in Berlin, in Hangars 2 and 3. Within this project the foundation presented "Be AWARE – Frauen in der Geschichte der Kunst / A history of Women Artists" from 14 July to 10 October 2021. Be AWARE was described as an independent project within Diversity United, sharing the aim of fostering integration and dialogue, with a specific focus on gender discourse and equality in art history and on increasing the visibility of women artists. The project was linked to Camille Morineau, Benita von Maltzahn and Walter Smerling. Wikidata records the organization as a German foundation based in Bonn. It is registered as an eingetragener Verein (e.V.), indicating a non-profit association structure. The foundation remains active in the German and European contemporary art scene.
