About the Location
KunstRaum Kelbra e.V. is in the process of founding a creation and production space for performing arts, site-specific performance and contemporary circus that will cover all aspects of the artistic process, both permanently for associated artists and for temporary artists in residence. It is intended to become the center of life and work for several artists: CircusMühle Kelbra.
As a space or joint collaboration it combines all artistic and creative skills. Artists can work on and realize their creative ideas as part of residencies. They can rely on the professional, spatial, and material infrastructure of the place.
