KUBO is a non-profit association dedicated to promoting cultural and artistic education—especially for children and young people—as well as supporting contemporary art and artists in Bremen. We are a recognized provider of art and education programs for the city and surrounding areas, and a significant employer of freelance artists and art educators. Each year, up to 5,000 people visit our exhibitions and take part in our course program. Through our courses, workshops, and projects—both in our studio and in cooperation with various institutions across Bremen—as well as through our exhibitions at Galerie Mitte, we aim to offer as many people as possible the opportunity to engage with art and open up space for artistic and aesthetic experience.

With tiered course fees, free projects for children and young people, and exhibitions that are open to all during our opening hours without additional entry fees, we strive to make the field of visual art as accessible as possible. To uphold this mission, a large part of our work depends on financial support — we rely on public funding and donations.

We are officially recognized as serving the public good in the fields of “promotion of art and culture” and “promotion of education, vocational training, and student assistance.”

The Galerie Mitte at KUBO is a space that does not aim to maximize profit, but to let art grow—free and unbound. The gallery is run by the artists/curators Ele Hermel and Rebekka Kronsteiner. It is a place for art and encounter between younger and older generations, between people from Bremen and from everywhere else.

To keep this non-commercial program alive, we need people who want to support us—places where art is not smoothed out just to please. A space where you can try things out, fail, start again, continue—and where art is not measured by how well it sells, but by what it sets in motion. Those who become part of the Galerie Mitte friends' community support our values and goals: art must remain free, must be allowed to take time, and can connect people, thoughts, and ideas. We need people who visit, listen, join the conversation, and stay curious.

A place like this does not exist on its own. If this speaks to you, we are grateful for any form of support!
