Group exhibition at The Stage Gallery
The Stage Gallery cordially invites artists to participate in the BONNER Frühlingssalon 2026. The group exhibition is dedicated to current positions in contemporary art and brings different artistic styles into an exciting dialogue.
We are looking for works in the fields of photography, painting and sculpture that are characterised by an independent visual language, conceptual clarity or experimental approaches. The Spring Salon is open in terms of theme – both free works and works that deal with new beginnings, change, nature, society or personal perspectives are welcome.
Eligible categories:
- Painting
- Photography
- Sculpture
- Experimental and interdisciplinary works
Both abstract and figurative works are welcome. The theme is freely chosen.
The aim of the exhibition is to show a diverse selection of artistic styles and to offer the participating artists a professional presentation platform.
The call for entries is open to artists of all levels of experience.
We look forward to diverse, bold and inspiring artistic contributions and to a lively BONNER Frühlingssalon 2026 at The Stage Gallery.

Exhibition & Audience Award – Here's how it works!
Participate in the exhibition
There is a fee to participate in our group exhibition.
The participation fee covers the space, organization, and advertising—and you’re officially part of it!
Audience Award – Your chance to participate again
During the opening reception, the audience can vote for the work or artist they like best.
Each person present has one vote—fair and transparent.
After the voting has ended, the votes will be counted by The Stage Gallery.
What can you win?
Most votes = another participation in a group exhibition within 6 months with an artwork in S format!
Fairness counts
The participation fee only secures your place in the group exhibition.
The audience award is a free extra – as a special token of appreciation from the audience.
Attempts at manipulation (e.g., multiple voting) will result in the votes being disqualified.
Voting is a voluntary action for artistic recognition – not a competition.
**This includes participation in another group exhibition of their choice in the following 6 months (except X-MAS exhibition) with one artwork in S format! If the artist wishes to participate with a larger format, only the difference in price will be charged.
