The new issue features nine articles aimed at cultural professionals as well as interested members of the public. In Dienheim, for example, a new cultural center is currently being built; it is already serving as a gathering place for young and old alike and stands as a successful example of how cultural participation can be brought to life in rural areas. This is also the focus of the article by Sarah Petry and Lisa von Eichel, who provide insight into the dance scene and dance education in Mainz and the surrounding area. 

“I am very pleased to once again showcase the diversity of the Rheinhessen cultural landscape in the new issue of KulturArt. The region is developing very dynamically, so exciting topics and developments for the magazine keep emerging,” says project manager and regional cultural manager Valerie Reiter. 

As classic cultural events, the 7th Sculpture Triennial in Bingen and the Marktplatz concerts from Westhofen are featured in the magazine, offering fascinating insights into their project work. 

And there’s something for all podcast fans to enjoy: “Glanz & Storia,” the new cultural podcast from Worms, is a fresh new format that’s already winning over many listeners.

The issue also includes a call for proposals for the upcoming 2027 theme year of the Rheinhessen Regional Cultural Management, under the motto “Women’s Voices – Stories from Rheinhessen.” Interested project partners can contact the Rheinhessen Regional Cultural Management by early October. 

Two new sections are featured for the first time: In the “New in Rheinhessen” section, Lena Berkler introduces herself; she has been strengthening the cultural coordination team for the city of Worms since February of this year. In an interview, Nina Göttelmann introduces herself as she succeeds Sarah Piller as cultural advisor for southern Rhineland-Palatinate at Kulturnetz Pfalz e.V. 

Between the individual articles are “Voices from Rheinhessen.” Respondents from the region’s cultural scene share a statement on what culture in Rheinhessen stands for—or what it does not (yet) stand for. 

Both sections are set to become regular features in the magazine. 

A work by two regional artists—Anneliese Ruff and Jasmin Winter—was deliberately chosen for the cover. It was created as part of their work at atelierblau in Worms, an inclusive art project run by Lebenshilfe Worms. 

KulturArt Rheinhessen is published twice a year. The magazine is available for free at www.rheinhessen.de (opens in a new tab) under the section “Culture & Cities – Experience Culture”—directly via https://www.rheinhessen.de/kulturart (opens in a new tab) 

Cultural figures can contact Valerie Reiter if they would like to contribute an article to a future issue or participate in the 2027 theme year “FrauenStimmen.” 

She can be reached at reiter.valeriemainz-bingende or by phone at 06132 787-1093. “KulturArt Rheinhessen” is a project of Regional Cultural Management Rheinhessen in collaboration with the Mainz-based design studio hauptsache:design.
