The mobile art kits come directly into the children’s everyday environment—at so-called “stops.” Using a wide variety of materials, artists offer children the opportunity to create, paint, and experiment. This always takes place outdoors, reliably and consistently on open streets, sidewalks, playgrounds, and schoolyards.

Children can come to the art kits without registering and at no cost.

No specific outcome is expected. Through playful experiences, children can develop artistic and social skills.

The Art Suitcases are a fully mobile youth art school in Hesse that offers participation for everyone. For over 20 years, they have been making their mark in Wiesbaden and many other cities. 

This program is funded by the Office of Social Work, Department of Youth Services.
