Discover Mannheim with new eyes: Urban Sketchwalk at IN BETWEEN SPACES

On Saturday, October 24, 2026, Mannheim will become an open gallery: During the Urban Sketchwalk as part of the exhibition IN BETWEEN SPACES, the Urban Sketchers Mannheim will explore special places, perspectives, and details that are easily overlooked in everyday life. The city tour combines creative drawing, urban perception, and cultural encounters.

Between historical facades and modern cityscapes

The Sketchwalk begins in room S4.17 and leads out into the Mannheim cityscape. The focus is on in-between spaces: transitions, passages, breaks, moods of light, and inconspicuous corners between historical facades and modern architecture. Urban Sketching makes local history and urban atmosphere immediately experienceable – with pencil, paper, and attentive observation.

Open to beginners and experienced drawers

A brief introduction with Jessica Marquardt and Vivien Rebsdat from Urban Sketchers Mannheim provides access to Urban Sketching. After that, the open discovery tour of Mannheim begins. Drawing skills are not required; materials and techniques can be chosen freely. Regular sketchers will find as many inspiring motifs as curious participants who are exploring Mannheim artistically for the first time.

Art and city enter into dialogue

At the end, the group returns to the exhibition IN BETWEEN SPACES. During the joint Throwdown, the sketches created will be examined and the impressions of the afternoon shared. Anyone who wishes can submit a selected sketch for a temporary pop-up exhibition. The audience will vote on which sketch conveys the strongest impression of a Mannheim in-between space. The award ceremony will take place at the closing event on November 14, 2026.

IN BETWEEN SPACES: Exhibition of In-Between Spaces

The group exhibition of wieArt Rhein-Neckar e. V. unites 13 artistic positions from sculpture, painting, textile art, mosaics, and wall objects. It focuses on the in-between and creates a vibrant place for art, exchange, and new perception. The Urban Sketchwalk expands this exhibition experience into public space, making Mannheim itself the motif.
