THE CONCEPT
Rhineland-Palatinate Triennial
Trier 2026, 50 artists,
1 state
Art from here
Around 50 artists who live, were born or studied in Rhineland-Palatinate represent the artistic quality and creative diversity of the state in various forms and media; visual, multimedia, site-specific. The exhibition places artistic creation at the center of our society.
Art in focus
The Rhineland-Palatinate Triennial will take place in central locations in Trier such as the Landesmuseum, the TUFA and the Kunsthalle. The established art institutions will be complemented by additional venues and open spaces in public areas as well as selected archaeological sites where history and the present come together. Participatory formats, interdisciplinary approaches and site-specific projects expand the exhibition experience and open up access to art for a wide audience.
Art for all
The Triennial focuses on cultural education, participation and inclusion. Workshops, hands-on activities and an extensive accompanying program invite people of all backgrounds to actively encounter art and promote social dialogue and cultural participation.
