ArtTalks are interactive, so you can increase and expand your verbal skills, active vocabulary and visual competencies while interacting with others. ArtTalks is a series of open topical workshops that combine art and language in an innovative and playful way.
ArtTalkers enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and we have lots of fun together. We often go out afterwards for a post-ArtTalk drink and to continue talking!
ArtTalks usually take place on the Köln Tag (Cologne citizens get in free to the museums) on the first Thursday of the month.
To find out which topics we will discuss and upcoming date take a look at the Calendar!
The ArtTalks moderator, Karla Schlaepfer-Karst, holds a B.A. in art history and a M.A. in education. She is a native of California, transplanted to Cologne.

Once more it has been immensely interesting, reflective …, it will again take days to calm down. Thank you so much for your questions!

Business ArtTalks
Business ArtTalks are designed for those in the business world.
The two current seminars in this series are called: Confident Presentations and Business ArtTalks for Creative Thinking. They both use innovative methods as main resources to stimulate whole brain thinking and new creative ideas.
In Confident Presentations the participants are filmed while giving a presentation. After the theory session, the participants are filmed again to see for themselves how much they have improved.
ArtTalks for Creative Thinking uses visual art as a springboard and communicative tool for innovative thinking techniques. Available in both English and German.
The seminars are designed for small groups.
For more information on both seminars, please see:
