The Foundation Gallery for Contemporary Art Leipzig (GfZK for short) is an exhibition house for contemporary art, which mainly refers to the period after 1945. Since its opening in 1998, the Gallery for Contemporary Art has developed into one of the leading institutions for contemporary art in the new federal states and throughout Europe. The gallery offers visitors several options:
- Visiting important exhibitions, sometimes on controversial issues of contemporary art
- Discussions with artists and curators in the café or garden
- Reading publications on contemporary art in the library
- Participation in one of the innovative mediation programs of the "GfZK FÜR DICH"
The café, garden and shop are designed and created by artists – like DAS KAPITAL or the Café 292 Karangahape Road.
The gallery for contemporary art also offers many activities for kindergartens and school classes, as well as special holiday programs. Events for children also take place on weekends.
