New art machine in Nottuln: A cultural highlight for everyone!

On Thursday, January 10, 2025, a new art machine was officially put into operation in Nottuln. The project, which has been planning for several years, was initiated by the local participation group and the municipality of Nottuln and is now an additional cultural incentive for the citizens. The art machine is right in front of the Tilbeck store at Potthoffstrasse 24 and is said to serve as a platform for local artists.

The creation of this art mate reflects the importance of culture for the community existence, as the municipality of Nottuln emphasizes. Cultural activities are essential to promote social interaction and make individual talents visible. The responsibility for the promotion of cultural initiatives lies with the cultural advisory board of the municipality, which consists of committed citizens and representatives of the municipal administration.

Culture Advisory Board and his tasks

The cultural advisory board, which was newly elected in December 2020, plays a crucial role in supporting cultural work in Nottuln. This institution is made up of four voting members, including Thomas Brieden and Dr. Gabriele Hovestadt, as well as not voting members such as Mayor Dr. Dietmar Thönnes and the cultural coordinator. Their main task is to set cultural -political impulses and to pronounce recommendations to award funding.

Cultural projects that have a connection to the municipality of Nottuln can apply for financial support. Applications can be submitted all year round, but they must be available at least four weeks before the next meeting of the Committee on Culture, Sport and Voluntary. This regulation ensures prompt processing and effective promotion of cultural forms of expression.

volunteer engagement in culture

Volunteering is another important aspect of the cultural landscape in Nottuln. Volunteers not only contribute to the organization and implementation of events, but also benefit personally from their voluntary work by learning new skills and making contacts. The use of museums, libraries, theaters and concerts promotes cultural diversity and the access to culture for all social classes is improved.

The past commissioning of the art mechanism not only symbolizes technological progress, but is also part of a living, voluntary cultural life in Nottuln. The community and its citizens are asked to use this new platform and thus make a contribution to the cultural enrichment of the region. The cultural advisory board is available at any time for inquiries regarding cultural funding opportunities. Further information can be found on the nottuln website

In summary, it can be said that the initiative for the artificial machine and the active funding programs of the municipality are an integral part of Nottuln's cultural identity. These engagements not only promote artistic activities, but also strengthen the social structure of the community.
