Bottrop artists provide help in the children's village with a new calendar!

On April 3, 2025, the photographers Fabian Mende and Nolin Wischermann from the artist collective Bottrop presented a special calendar for 2025, which is designed with unique Bottrop motifs. This calendar was sold on the gastrome during the Artvent and the desired market of the non -profit association. With the purchase of the calendar, buyers not only support the local art scene, but also charitable projects in the region.

A particularly gratifying result of the sale is the generous donation of 4,000 euros, which was handed over by Sarah Avakian, the managing director of the Bottroper Kelfätändein, to Thomas Evers from the Caritas Children's Village on the Köllnische Wald. This donation is intended for the support of the valuable work in the children's village, which takes care of children in need and their support.

focus on the cultural contribution

The initiative for the fundraising not only shows the commitment of the Bottrop photo artist, but also reflects the importance of promoting art and culture in Germany. According to the provisions of the German Basic Law, the support of art and culture is mainly the country and communities. These investments are crucial for the quality of life of people and also have considerable economic importance.

The Federal Ministry is investing around 2 billion euros in cultural projects, which corresponds to around 17% of total expenditure in the field of art and culture. The funding supports varied areas such as visual arts, music, literature, dance and theater, as well as important projects for cultural education and monument protection. The federal funding, which are usually regulated at a country level and can support large projects from regional to international importance, are particularly noteworthy.

outlook on upcoming events

The Bottroper Kelfätätsverein is already planning a continuation of this successful initiative and is working on a new calendar for 2026, which is also intended to present Bottrop motifs. Details on the start of sales of the new calendar will soon be published by We love bottrop

The commitment in Bottrop impressively shows how art, culture and charity can go hand in hand to enrich life in the community. Events such as the Artvent and the desired market not only strengthen local identity, but also contribute to the financial support of important social projects.
