Bielefeld starts Christmas campaign for culture seekers

(20.11.2020) Since the second “lockdown” at the latest, 2020 has been a year to forget for creative professionals. This applies to theater, art, museums and everyone else whose ideas and skills are what give life in a big city like Bielefeld the right taste. To set an example here, too, Bielefeld Marketing and the Bielefeld Cultural Office are now launching a Christmas campaign where you can give others – and yourself – great gifts.

Exceptional Christmas packages can be put together and given away under the campaign motto “Give a heartwarming culture”. Whether vouchers, taster courses or art for the wall: the content of the packages can be freely selected – and so, by the way, the price. It starts at just six euros. Everything is possible depending on your taste.

Looking forward to 2021
“If you are looking for a great Christmas present, the Bielefeld cultural landscape offers so much inspiration – also to look forward to 2021”, says Marianne Weiß, who is responsible for cultural marketing at Bielefeld Marketing. “Everyone who takes part gives twice as much. You not only make your loved ones happy, you can also give many cultural workers a small sign that they are indispensable even in these times, ”says Nina Oesterreich, who completes the city’s cultural marketing duo in the cultural office.

The “Bielefelder KunstEdition2020” is a special part of the campaign. 15 artists from the city took part. They each contribute one of their works, which are available as hand-signed art prints in a limited edition of 50 copies each. Among others, Veit Mette, Andrea Köhn and Marie-Pascale Gräbener will be there. There is hardly an easier way to bring art from the city into your own four walls.

Crime writing course and “After Work Art”
Many institutions also contribute special vouchers for “Herzwärmend …”. The Volkshochschule Bielefeld, for example, offers a writing workshop for short crime novels, and the music and art school offers taster courses for trying out instruments. For an evening for two, for example, a program cinema package including popcorn or an appointment for drinks and art at the “After Work Art” in the Hermann Stenner Art Forum.

All gift ideas can be combined with each other individually and according to taste. And if you are not so sure what the recipient likes, you can include Bielefeld vouchers, which can be redeemed for a large selection of tickets and other offers at the Tourist Information Bielefeld. With every present there is also a free Bielefeld light bag – so that the heart lights up when you unpack it later.

The cultural gifts are available at the Tourist Information Bielefeld in the New Town Hall (Niederwall 23, Tel. 0521 516999, opening times Tuesday and Wednesday 11 am-4pm, Thursday and Friday 11 am-6pm, Saturday 10 am-2pm Clock). Or you can browse, choose and buy from the comfort of your home sofa Bielefeld online shop.
