Art by the Tracks 2026: Creativity in the open air in Bad Vilbel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When art, music and nature come together, something truly special is created in Bad Vilbel once again: On the weekend of June 20 and 21, 2026, the popular open-air exhibition \u201cArt by the Tracks\u201d invites visitors for the fifth time to an inspiring weekend full of creativity. <\/p>\n

What once began as a small initiative with around ten artists has long since become an established part of the regional cultural scene. Today, nearly 40 artists from Bad Vilbel, Hesse and far beyond present their work surrounded by greenery along the tracks on Berkersheimer Weg. <\/p>\n

Initiator Attila Berkenyi founded the event together with Ren\u00e9 van den Bossche in 2022. His idea emerged at a time when meeting up had become rare: art was meant to bring people together again. That very idea still shapes \u201cArt by the Tracks\u201d today\u2014open, warm and community-minded. <\/p>\n

A growing network of creative diversity<\/strong>
\nThe artists come from Bad Vilbel, Frankfurt, Offenbach, the Taunus, Friedberg, Karben, Bad Nauheim and many other places such as Gie\u00dfen, Wetzlar, Aschaffenburg, or even Berlin and the Uckermark. This makes the event a vibrant meeting place for a wide range of styles and perspectives. <\/p>\n

Particularly impressive is the intergenerational diversity: Bernd, the oldest participant at 80, exhibits his colourful works despite visual impairment\u2014only for the second time ever.<\/p>\n

Artist Karsten Kayser has been part of the project since the beginning and enthusiastically describes its development:
\n\u201cWe\u2019ve managed to build a network of 70 artists from an idea and a small circle of ten exhibitors back then. Every year, I\u2019m delighted to see how the project develops and how the wonderful site is filled with life and creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Art, music and connection in a special atmosphere<\/strong>
\n\u201cArt by the Tracks\u201d offers far more than a classic exhibition. On both days, guests can look forward to a varied supporting programme with live music and an open stage for musical performances. The relaxed open-air atmosphere makes the event a special meeting place for art lovers, families and day-trippers. <\/p>\n

Also taking part is saxophonist Elke Lange-Helfrich, who is now part of the organising team:
\n\u201cAs a former Bad Vilbel resident, my heart is with the local art scene. In 2024, I was able to contribute to the musical programme of this extraordinary exhibition for the first time as a saxophonist with the band Satori, and I will be doing so again this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alongside painting, photography, sculptures and a wide variety of creative techniques, the focus is above all on personal exchange. Visitors have the opportunity to talk directly with the artists and experience art in a relaxed, nature-filled setting. <\/p>\n

And of course, refreshments are provided\u2014so a visit is well worth it in many ways.<\/p>\n
