About the funder

The Otmar Alt Foundation was established in 1992 by the artist Otmar Alt with the aim of preserving his extensive oeuvre, providing space and support for young artists, and creating a meeting place for art and culture. On a spacious site in Hamm-Norddinker, there is a museum, gallery, and sculpture park with over 50 sculptures. The foundation organizes rotating exhibitions, a scholarship for emerging artists, art programs for children and youth, as well as public tours and events.
