In early October 2026, Germany will be celebrating German Unity Day in Bremen – and we’ll be joining in the celebrations! The city will be transformed into a festival venue – from Domshof to the Weserstadion – and at the University of the Arts Bremen, you can also enjoy a varied programme organised by the departments of Art and Design and Music.

On Friday, 2 October 2026, the theme on the MS Dauerwelle, the HfK Bremen’s ship, will be ‘Reaching for the stars together’. From 3.30 pm, you can look forward to exhibitions, talks and a panel discussion on the topic of science and art in space travel.

On Saturday, 3 October 2026, from 12.00 to 19.00, you can view the regular exhibition as well as the results of the closed workshops for school classes.

In addition, on Saturday 3 October 2026, the Department of Music will also be opening its doors at its city centre location at Dechanatstraße 13–15. Under the motto “HfK Open House. From Brass to Wood”, the various degree programmes – Fine Art, Digital Media, Integrated Design and Music – will present themselves through a range of exhibitions and concerts.
