🎭 KOLLEG DER KÜNSTE 2026 🎭

For the 14th time, students from the art and music colleges from North-Rhine-Westphalia were working together at the Palazzo Ricci, as part of the annual project of the Kolleg.
Around 50 students and lecturers from Cologne, Detmold, Essen, Münster, and Düsseldorf filled the Palazzo Ricci and the city of Montepulciano with their creativity.
In the first week the students participated in different workshops led by the professors and presented their portfolio.
They then formed groups and worked independently, in collaboration with the mentors. A creative laboratory emerged, encompassing a wide variety of artistic disciplines, within which experimentation and research took place.
In the end, a total of 19 projects were presented, which were performed and made accessible over two days at the Palazzo Ricci and other locations in Montepulciano. The results were very diverse and ranged from video and/or music installations to live performances and films.

We had unforgettable and inspiring days here and are thankful for the creative atmosphere that permeated the entire house.

In the following are a few of the presentations.
